flyrod info
Question
I collect mostly fiberglass flyrods some bamboo. I can only find a few books with good information about these types of rods. The main book is Fiberglass fly rods by Victor R. Johnson. Is there another something else available. Maybe a value guide or something?
Thanks Matt
Answer
Hi Matt,
I tend to specialize in bamboo and wooden rods (or at least I used to) but the fiberglass rods and the steel rods are definitely vintage and they are popular so I spend time trying to find more and more data on them myself. I am not aware of a good value guide, but I may not have found it yet. Victor Johnson's books cover the evolution of fiberglass fly rods. I have seen some fairly good documents on the web that describe specific manufacturers and their rods; and, of course, sites like fiberglassflyrodders.com do a lot to help preserve information about these rods.
In other words, I haven't found it yet. There is even less on the steel rods. I am always looking for additional information on vintage rods. If you find interesting items or books, please let me know so I can add them to my reference materials.
Sorry to not be more help.
