Fly-anglers, most of whom tie their own flies, are now looking to make their own split-cane fly-rods. Bamboo is cheap, and the tools needed to build finished rods are simple and few. What is needed is patience, a steady hand, and a book that explains the process with clarity and detail. This is that book.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Co-author George Maurer has built some of the finest and most innovative bamboo rods seen in a generation. His student Bernard Elser explains this exacting craft in simple, precise steps. Each chapter begins with a list of tools and the time needed to complete the step described. Photographs and illustrations throughout illuminate key points of the process.","brand":"Countryman Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022395064560,"sku":"9780881505702","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780881505702_p0.jpg?v=1763849158","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780881505702","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
