Few books have earned a more enduring place on the shelves of bamboo fly rod collectors than Marty Keane's Classic Rods and Rodmakers.
A respected dealer, collector and authority on classic American fishing rods, Keane brought together a wealth of knowledge concerning the makers, models and traditions that shaped the golden age of American bamboo rodmaking.
The book explores the work of distinguished manufacturers and individual craftsmen, including H.L. Leonard, Thomas & Thomas, and other celebrated names. Its observations on rod design, craftsmanship and the characteristics of individual models make it a particularly useful reference for those who collect, fish and appreciate traditional bamboo rods.
Of particular interest to Alder Creek is Keane's discussion of classic Leonard models, including the powerful 4099½ Tournament, a rod represented in our own collection.
This copy is the third printing, published by Classic Publishing Company in 1992. It is in fine condition and retains its original dust jacket, also in fine condition.
Marty Keane's observations on the great American bamboo rodmakers remain particularly relevant to collectors today. Discover our H.L. Leonard 4099½ bamboo fly rod , a model discussed in Keane's work, or explore our collection of classic angling literature .
