As for the black bamboo "homegrown" don't do it. Cane rods come from Tonkin cane. It is special. Don't know why. The material cost for the bamboo is about 10% or the rod cost.
On a related subject, some of the biggest rip off artists I have seen are guys making "custom" rods. They go on about the balance, etc. and charge an arm and a leg for something that is crummier than a nice production rod.
Sorry, I had to vent.
