Book Review: Cane Rods: Tips and Tapers
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps the greatest value of this book lies in the discussion of how tapers are arrived at and how to plot them to get the action desired. The taper tables that are included are of value not only to the new rod builder, but also to anyone who is interested in building a "new" rod from the sections of vintage rods, as they are of value in determing which taper dimensions among disparate sections will be a "best fit" for a functional new rod. The tips are of value to anyone working with bamboo.
