Contrary to most expectations, crafting a bamboo rod is really not all that difficult. Anyone who can tie a credible Fanwing Coachman or a Muddler Minnow should have little difficulty with a bamboo rod using this book. Certainly you won't rival a Hiram Leonard or a Pinky Gillums on your first try - or maybe ever! = but given some basic woodworking skills and knowledge of simple tools, you'll have little trouble building a rod far superior toany that can be obtained from today's commercial sources.
