Antique/Collectible Fishing Rods Review

This book was perfect for the avid rod collector. The photos and detail were great and easy to compare your own rods to theirs listed in the book. Highly recommend.

GREAT REFERENCE FOR THE BAMBOO ROD COLLECTOR

This book is a great reference for the serious rod collector or antique dealer that is in need of expert information about evaluating old bamboo rods. The author includes a good sampling of close-up B & W photographs covering many of the historic rod makers. Old patent drawings are used to explain various rod designs and component functions. A comprehensive chapter is devoted to common rod defects to look for and how each one might lower the collectible value of a rod. The back of the book contains a 32 page rod price guide listing which is helpful in formulating an approximate appraisal of value. A very worthwhile addition to any tackle collector's library of reference materials.

A good introductory book on collecting old fishing rods.

A good book to give the basics on what to look for in a collecting fishing rods. It gives guidelines on what to look for, ratings on condition, time lines of manufacture, and ideas on value. Includes many models of bamboo, fiberglass and steel rods.
