Product Description

This unique, one-of-a-kind book is a must for anyone interested in the history of our great sport and collectors of antique fishing tackle. It takes a look at the history of fishing rods from the early 1800s to the 1970s, through text and hundreds of color photographs. With access to five private and extensive collections, Hatton covers the first three ages of rod-making: The smith age, up to 1870; the expansion era, 1870-1900; and the classic era, 1900-1970s. Forty-nine beautiful rods are featured, each with a description, history, notable features, and much more. Be warned: once you get into this book, you may look up to discover that several hours have gone by.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rod Crafting; A review, November 10, 2006
This book is a remarkable resource for people interested in the construction and history of fishing rods. It doesn't provide much in terms of written history but its illustrations provide an accurate sense of the rod's development over the years. It will be an important part of my library.
