The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Just received my copy of this book , which is a wonderful catalogue of one man’s collection of cane rods.
There are some rare and interesting rods here.
The exceptional photographs were taken by master photographer of rods and tackle ,Dave Watson.
If you have an interest in split cane and cane fishing rods it won’t disappoint.

Got mine saturday. Overall a good book full of great photos but i was a bit disappointed in the one sentence descriptions and lack of text.

I purchased a copy of this book a few weeks ago. The photographs are outstanding, but because of the lack of information regarding the rods, I returned the book and got my money back.

One of the icons of showing cane rods at their best!

I too have a copy and I was extremely disappointed at the lack of text. A great deal of money for a collection of photographs,
albeit very professional.

Well done. No reason why being traditional should excuse a poor product.

Do you have or seen/read a copy JAA?

And Dave what do you need to know about the rods?

Dave Watson has previously produced similar books including Pocket Fruit Knives and The London Knife Book amongst them.

Only just seen this Olly. I would have liked something about the rods: age, when used, really anything. The photographs were outstanding though. The book was probably well worth the money, with the beautiful printing, but just not worth it for me.

I read in the latest copy of Classic Angling that David Petty is going to be selling much of his collection this year.

That will be very interesting!!

So Dave an even more expensive book! At possibly twice or three times the price!!
