At times we take it for granted, it's just an extension of our arm, but how much do you know about the development of your fly rod? Don Phillips gives the reader a perspective of how fly-rod technology has evolved since the earliest Chinese and Egyptian fishermen fed their families more than 2000 years before the birth of Christ. In this book, Don shares: the history, including the very first rods; fly-rod design over the years; the use of cane, metal, fiberglass, and boron and graphite; the properties of these materials; manufacturing processes for these materials; component design; patent activities over the years; casting; taper and cross-sectional geometry; and much, much more. You'll find this very detailed book hard to put down.
