"There is no higher reward in fishing than to land a big fish on tackle of your own design and craftsmanship. But although expert anglers prefer to build their own customised rods from specialist blanks and accessories, both the beginner and more experienced angler are often deterred by the vast range of blanks, rings, handles and fittings, from taking the plunge into home rod building... this book has the answer.
However, this book is not only a manual of rod building; it also provides in-depth guidance on selecting and designing rods for all major branches of freshwater and saltwater fishing. It discusses pike, tench, carp, cod, roach, long-range casting, uptide boat fishing, line class ratings and reservoir trout, as well as step by step details of blank preparation, ring spacings, handles, test-curve assessment, whipping and finishing. A must for keen anglers.
Len Head is among the most experienced, respected fishermen in Britain and is recognised as our leading authority on tench. He fishes in freshwater and salt, and is equally at home with leger, float, beach, boat and fly tackle. Needles to say, he makes all his own rods."
82 pages. Illustrated with black & white and several colour photographs.
