Rods and how to make them
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Rods and how to make them
Harry, it is a nice little book and can be interesting if you like the history of rod making.
If you look for a „how to make a split cane rod“ type of book this one is pretty much useless in my opinion.
I have a copy at home and can send you some pics if you like.
Enjoy, Chris

Re: Rods and how to make them
Its good little book with sound advice for basic rod making and repairs. Ideal for anyone starting out repairing rods.

Hi,
If I remember correctly one of the "How To Catch Them" series was the same title and author but much more detailed.
