5.0 out of 5 stars The preeminent work in the field of custom rod building, August 23, 1998
This review is from: The New Advanced Custom Rod Building (Hardcover)
This is by far the finest and most comprehensive work regarding custom rod building. The information is well organized and clearly presented. This text rivals many college textbooks as far as the amount and value of information to the rod builder. If you could only have 1 book on this subject, this would be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for the rod builder, and serious anglers., January 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Advanced Custom Rod Building (Hardcover)
I just started rod building a year ago. I went on the internet and solicited some advise to get started. A gentlman recommended Dale Clemens book as the only book reference I would need. He spoke from 35 years of experience. I got the book and taught myself from the context.It is an outstanding reference, and I have gotten great compliments on my work so far.I consider him my mentor, though I have never met the man.I have yet to find another book which offers so much text and detail on the subject. There is nobody in my area that offers rod building instructions, making this book a real plus for me.I don't want to pour it on to thick,but this book is a great addition to your library whether you build one rod or a thousand. My compliments to Mr Clemens and my thanks for getting my dream started.
