- It’s true, from the 1870s to the 1950s, bamboo fly rods (also known as split cane rods) enjoyed 75 years of top production in the United States. When products from China were placed under embargo, bamboo fly rods were harder to attain and their popularity with anglers was replaced by the new graphite or fiberglass rods.
- HARDY RODS - YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. If you've been fortunate enough to acquire a vintage rod manufactured by theHouse of Hardy, the following chart may help you date it. The serial number adjacent to the date represents the number assigned to the first rod made in that year. For example, a rod with a serial number of E21655 would have been manufactured in 1931.
- A Milwards Featherlite cane fishing rod. This rod has three sections. This rod is in good condition considering it's age. It is 12ft long. The bottom two sections are cane or bamboo and the top section is split cane. Also on the bottom section it has a serial no. Y352.A.12' All the eyes and whipping are in good condition. It has a full cork butt.
