About this title

Synopsis

By Victor R. Johnson & Victor R. Johnson, Jr. Foreword by Leon Chandler of Courtland.

This in-depth book, by a father and son writing team, has been well researched and documented, and presents the first historical perspective of the people and companies involved in the dynamic Post-war transition of the American fishing rod from the days of bamboo rods into the modern era of synthetics: fiberglass and graphite. A valuable resource for classic tackle collectors and interesting reading for all fishermen. 8 x 11" with 176 pages; illustrated with old b&w photos, reproductions of old magazine ads and catalog pages.

About the Author

Both of the Johnsons have been life long fishermen and have owned and fished with the majority of the rods discussed in this book. Victor Johnson, a retired chemist, lives in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Victor, Jr., a civil engineer, lives in Vallejo, California.
