First Ever Singapore Built Split Bamboo Rod

The Birth Of The Singapore LeoRod Number One
These pictures were taken way back on 11th June 2006, when Uncle Wong still had some hair on his head. I had promised Uncle Wong and CY that I'll keep these photos from my blog until they had completed the project and the bamboo rod is catching Peacock Basses. Uncle Wong named his creation "The LeoRod" and had already written the Story of the LeoRod in another article in this blog.

These pictures had remained in my computer until today, when Ady requested me to put them on my blog and with CY's and Uncle Wong's permission, I proudly present The Historic Moments of The Splitting of the First Bamboo Fly Rod in Singapore.

The LeoRod Is Born.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the First European Bamboo Rodmakers Gathering which will be held on the 23-24-25 May 2008.
The event is organized by the IBRA - Italian Bamboo Rodmakers Association (www.rodmakers.it) together with our German and Swiss friends.

The intention is to have the gathering in a different European nation each year: this year it will be held in Italy and the next two editions in Switzerland and Germany and we hope that many other friends will join this adventure.

Many Rodmakers will participate including some American guests.

The gathering will take place at the IBRA Clubhouse, at the Podere Il Violino Hotel (www.podereviolino.it) - with the following program:


Thursday 22 May : arrival

19,30 Welcome Aperitif and dinner

Friday 23 May : Bamboo Only fishing day


Exhibition of the participants’ rods in a reserved hall
8,30 Registration and issue of fishing permits: the whole Tevere Tailwater will be reserved for fishing exclusively with bamboo rods.
13,00 Riverside picnic lunch
20,00 Dinner

Saturday 24 May:

Exhibition of the participants’ rods in a reserved hall
9,00-13,00 Speeches
13,15 -15,00 Lunch break
15,00- 18,00 Speeches



Sunday 25 May:

Exhibition of the participants’ rods in a reserved hall

9,00 Casting demonstrations by experts with bamboo rods
12,00 Drawing of the winning Lottery Tickets with a special commemorative rod made by Italian, German and Swiss Rodmakers.
13,00 Lunch and farewells.


The topic of the gathering will be “ Bamboo rodmaking in Europe: present and future” focusing on the European situation of the Bamboo rod, in terms of the technical constructive aspects as well as its diffusion and future prospect analysis.

If you wish to participate with a speech on this theme, please inform us about the title and a brief description by 31 March 2008.



Obviously we have to limit the number of speeches so we cannot guarantee that your contribution will be included in the final program. However we request you to bring your rods. This is undoubtedly the fundamental part of the gathering: to discover the work of others and to learn from it which is always a fountain of knowledge and growth.


The participation fee is Euro 100,00 which includes three dinners, two lunches and a picnic lunch on the “Bamboo Only” day; payable on arrival directly to IBRA. Please book this directly with Moreno Borriero info@damlin.com


The accommodation can be booked directly by 29 February 2008 at the Hotel Borgo Palace in Sansepolcro (www.borgopalace.it) at a cost of € 45,00 B&B per person per night in a double room , € 15,00 single room supplement per person per night. Indicate your participation to the First European Bamboo Rodmakers Gathering (1° Raduno europeo costruttori canne in bamboo – Convenzione Meeting Gori)
