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.

This book arrived in good time, and was just like new. It will be an invaluable source for dating and identifying collector’s fishing rods. I don’t collect, but my brother-in-law does, this will make a nice added gift for his 65th birthday.

Not much of a “reference” work.

Not much use to me as a means of identifying one rod from the other.
OK, If you want to read historical info about certain rod makers.
Definitely not a reference for those dealing in old/antique rods.

this book was a great help when we were cleaning out my parents house after they had passed away-My father had tons of fishing equipment and we saved money by not having it appraised. He was 97 and had kept all his old fishing equipment.
