Classic Bamboo. Timeless Performance.

Save a little cash and get the 1-tip version of the Headwaters Bamboo Rod.

This collection features single-tip bamboo rods, delivering smooth casting, pinpoint accuracy, and a crisp, responsive feel. Crafted from premium Tonkin bamboo, these rods blend time-honored tradition with modern refinements, offering a balanced action that graphite simply can’t match.

Each rod is meticulously hand-split and planed into a hexagonal blank, featuring an agate stripping guide, double-foot snake guides, a burled hardwood reel seat, and a western-style cork grip. Protected in a cotton rod sock and a durable Cordura tube, these rods are built to last.
