Summary: All you need to know
Review: I wanted to get started in building my own fishing rods and this book was recommended to me. I bought a copy and it lead me step by step to making my first rod with no problems. Then when I progressed more and made more rods and wanted to get started turning and making my own grips and reel seats it had that information in there too. I think this is a very complete book that does more than just help you with your first rod. It grows with you as you gain more experience and is something you can continue to lean on for many years in this great hobby.

Review: The rod building industry hailed this book as the best ever written on custom rod building. It should not have been a suprise. The author, Tom Kirkman, is maybe the world's foremost authority on custom rod building, having been a professional rod builder himself for over 2 decades and recently the editor and publisher of the acclaimed RodMaker Magazine. Who better to write such a book?
