So back in April 2023, I got the opportunity to cast Joe Bradley's bamboo rods at the Wasatch Intermountain Fly Fishing Expo. After casting his 7'3" 3wt Pro 12 bamboo rod, I was just amazed at the feel and accuracy casting it. I got in contact with Joe to see if I could come up to his workshop in St. Anthony, Idaho to go through the rod making process and figure out which model would work best for me. I ended up having Joe build me a Para 13 7'6" 4wt that casts like a dream. It's truly a special fly fishing rod that I'll treasure forever. Joe is a master builder and his rods are built to cast modern fly lines and be fished regularly.
