For New Rod Builders
Tom Kirkman has done a fantastic job of putting together all the essential information you will need to build your first fishing rod. As editor and publisher of RodMaker Magazine, Tom certainly has all the knowledge and credentials to write a great book of this nature. Everything from rod building tools, adhesives, grips and seats, and how to best understand the spine of the rod is presented throughout these pages.
For Pro Rod Builders
Even if you think you know it already, this book will give you some other insights into different techniques that you may not have thought of before. As well, Tom discusses new thought about the controversial subject of guide sizes and placement based on tests done by Fuji.
