Splitting Cane: Conversations With Bamboo Rodmakers

Ed Engle,John Gierach
The old-school bamboo fly-fishing rod is explored through conversations with 16 bamboo rod makers. The in-depth stories, along with clear, detailed descriptions of bamboo rods, and a chapter on rod-making basics make this an excellent read for all who appreciate a fine bamboo rod. While there is a lot of technical information here, it is not a how-to book.
