A New Antique  Fishing Tackle Collectors’ Book

‘One Man One Rod’ is a reference guide to the 175 coarse fishing cane rod collection David Petty has put together over fifty years.  Collectors will see probably the finest range of split-cane coarse fishing rods ever assembled. High quality photographs include novel 'unwrapped' composite views to show maker and model markings.

 

David Petty, one of the world's leading angling collectors, has had his stunning hoard of bamboo photographed by David Watson, who has compiled the book entitled: ‘One Man One Rod - The Art of Classic Split Cane’.

“When people look at the book and see these rods they will start to appreciate what jewels they really are”.
