I picked up a copy this past weekend, anyone read it?


Finished it a couple of weeks ago (it's in my local public library).
Much better than I had expected it to be. Primarily a brief history of
split cane rod making in the U.S., focusing on a small number of the
best early and contemporary makers.

If you have an interest in the Winston/Sweetgrass team, you may find the
profile of Glenn Brackett as appealing as I did. Type of fellow you'd
want to give business to "just on general principle," as the saying
goes....

Ditto, that was great when Glenn slammed the bamboo rod against ground, then
against the bench...
I could just picture those two woman with their jaws dropped.
fwiw,
