"There is a lot to chew on in this good book. .There have been reams written about fly fishing, fly tying, and fly casting, but here is the first book that really looks at the tools of the trade." (Lefty Kreh). "A one-of-a-kind and long overdue book. It not only gives you the basics, such as how to put together and balance various types of outfits, it also goes into the finest points of vintage rods and reels and their values for the connoisseur collector. Henkin names brand names and rates the products without the usual false diplomacy. .It really tells all. and with the pace and excitement of a first-rate whodunnit. There needn't be another book on the subject for decades to come." (Leonard Wright). . Seller Inventory # 62556
