Anyone know where I can find some bamboo in the Bradenton vicinity? I refuse to pay $200 for a 12' long stick that will probably just get stolen or swallowed by the depths again
My next door neighbor has a ton of it and it isn't even on his property, it's behind his house and outside the property line. He didn't even plant it ... the past home owner did. Probably 20ft tall or more.

Checked Lowe's today but couldn't find anything the right length. I'll try Home Depot next. I've got 7 weeks until my trip to ML/NMZ so I'm still kinda hoping a 12 or 14' Stiffy pops up on craigslist. errrr....

Try H.Dept first! I went Bill's route. A crutch tip on the end keeps the tip nice nice. You can cut it to any size you want at H.D.. Ten feet seems to be right for me. I drilled a hole in the handle end and ran a piece of line through it so I can attach it to a carabiner on my belt loop when I pick up the fishing rod. Learned it all from Bill. He can't fish very well but he's pretty handy.

My warehouse in lakeland is full of bamboo poles of different dia. & length. 12' x 1 1/2" maybe? I could probably spare some at no cost for PF members.
