The idea of an advertising co-op in our industry has been bounced around for years. Now it has finally happened. With the help and input of a hand full of other full-time bamboo rodmakers, I have incorporated the American Bamboo Rodmakers Association in the state of Colorado. This is an organization whose time has come that will ensure our craft continues to grow and thrive. Our advertising campaign focuses on showing the fly-fishing public what American made  bamboo rods are all about. Our advertisements direct subscribers to our website: www.goabra.org. Once at the website, viewers are able to browse through comprehensive informative articles concerning bamboo rods. An interactive national map directs viewers to locate rodmakers and supporters who are members of ABRA. Association members can choose to have their contact information listed on the website as well as a link to their own website. This association is for the benefit of all of us. United, we can make a difference.
