Breathtaking Bamboo Fly Rods with a Decidedly Non-Traditional Feel

Headwaters Bamboo Rod Company today unveils the Freestone Series rods, a new line of exquisitely detailed fast action bamboo fly fishing rods.

HILLSBORO, OR (PRWEB) February 18, 2006 - Headwaters Bamboo Rod Company today unveils the Freestone Series bamboo fly fishing rods. These rods, joining the Headwaters Series of classic bamboo rods, form a growing commitment to providing uncommon fly-fishing equipment for the uncommon angler.

Headwaters set out to create a masterpiece in detail and a bamboo fly rod with an unusual faster action taper. The Freestone Series rods are irresistible; tip-action rods that are a wonder to fish as well as behold. The browntone Freestone Series blanks are outfitted with exceptional hardware that will not disappoint even the finickiest of bamboo connoisseurs.

We sourced the finest agate and nickel silver stripping guides from Snake Brand®; gems that are the pinnacle of form and function. And from REC® Components, supplier to most of the world’s top rod manufacturers, we added the finest nickel silver Uniferrule® brand ferrules, high grade half-wells cork grip, and cocobolo and nickel silver reel seat hardware. You will be thrilled to hold a Freestone Series rod in your hands, a rod that will endure.

The Freestone Series rods are currently available in two models, the 7’0” Breitenbush and the 7’6” Rogue, both for a 5-weight line. The rods are two-piece and each is equipped with a second, matched tip and khaki poplin rod sock. These powerful, fun-to-cast yet delicate fine-tipped dry fly rods have a fast action that allows for excellent reach and achieves pinpoint accuracy. Whereas the Breitenbush is designed to fish tighter conditions, the Rogue is at home on bigger waters.

Walla Walla, Washington area fly fishing guide Skip Pritchard said of his Freestone Series fly rod: "The premium rod is a dream--it's all I've fished since seeing you."

Fishing the Freestone Series rod will make your fly fishing excursions an uncommon experience. More information about the Freestone Series rods is available at www.split-bamboo.com/.
