Bamboo needles - need recommendation

[myrnapap]

I'm about to purchase a circular needle and I'm considering bamboo which I've not used before. I read that they can get sticky. Is this true? Is Clover considered a good brand?

I have several Clover circulars and have not had any problem with them getting sticky.
Really like the bamboo over the plastic and metal.

I like Plymouth's brand bamboo.

I've never seen Plymouth brand. None of my local craft stores have what I'm looking for and Joann has them online. But there's a choice between bamboo and metal. I've never minded metal but I have bamboo DPs and they don't slip which is great when decreasing and knitting in the round. But one reviewer said the bamboo has too much grab. Is this true?

I have several sets of Clover circ's and none of them have gotten "sticky". HTH.

My bamboo are reasonably slick without "dropping" the stitches. I like them.

I love to knit with Bamboo - and it's not "sticky" to me, but it does have a nice "grab" and it holds on to stitches nicely.

I shouldn't make a big deal out of one pair of needles....I've thought of taking the plunge and getting one of those sets and have read the posts about them. But I really don't need all those sizes...so I'll get the one 16 inch Clover circular and continue thinking about it. Thanks to all of you for your help!

I love bamboo needles. I have some Clover & Bamboo premium collection. Never had sticky issues with them.

I really like the Clover highly polished type of needle. I've used the plain bamboo and feel that depending on the yarn it does stick. Someone also told me recently that you can rub wax paper on the needles if they stick but I have not tried that yet.
