Calcutta Bamboo Poles and Gaffs: Strong, Flexible, and Ideal for Harvesting and Fishing
For centuries, Calcutta bamboo poles have been renowned for their strength, flexibility, and buoyancy—perfect for applications requiring long, durable, and lightweight poles. Known scientifically as Dendrocalamus Strictus (male bamboo), these poles are almost completely solid, giving them exceptional strength while retaining the flexibility that makes bamboo so valuable.
At Orion Trading Co., we import premium Calcutta bamboo poles in lengths of 18', 20', 22', and 24', primarily for the nut harvesting industry.
By popular demand, we also offer Calcutta bamboo gaffs in shorter lengths, ideal for both commercial and private fishing. Bamboo gaffs are prized for their lightweight nature, incredible strength, resistance to saltwater rot, and crucially, their buoyancy—making them the perfect choice for the fishing industry.
