Synopsis
Not everyone should own or fish a split cane bamboo fly rod. Some folks are just too addicted to high tech. After all bamboo only offers a fly rod that warms the heart, bounces the summer sun in a thousand different directions and is uniquely in tune with the rhythms of the rivers, streams and lakes it touches. Bamboo's unique characteristics made it one of the finest choices for the construction of fly rods. Its' flexibility, recoil and recovery and overall toughness were just the qualities that have traditionally been most appreciated in working fishing gear. There's just nothing quite like a well-made split cane rod for performance and "feel". And there's nothing like the satisfaction of bringing one of these classic rods back to life. Hands on advice, tips and instructions for bringing that classic bamboo fly rod back to life. From how bamboo rods are put together to repairing cracks, splits, broken ferrules, cork grip repair and replacement to the do's and don'ts of windings., Not everyone should own or fish a split cane bamboo fly rod.

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

  • good beginners book on rod repair

    The book is a quick guide for the beginner who wishes to make simple repairs to bamboo rods. It contains information about about some of the common rod builders. The book does not contain as much detailed information as other rod building and restoration books.

  • not worth it

    having read many books on this subject, this was very disappointing, you could read the whole book in an hour. some items were incorrect, words misspelled, information vague and scarce .
