Product Description
"One of the all-time great teachers in the custom rod building craft."—Tom Kirkman, RodMaker Magazine
"Hand a person a custom made rod," says expert rod maker Dale P. Clemens, "and in almost every instance one of the first things he looks at is the decorative thread work," because a handsome rod is more desirable to own and fish. Clemens guides his readers through the organizational process of threading, illustrates the uses of patterns and replicas, explains how to wrap and weave, and gives his personal tips on how to make every rod "a never ending kaleidoscope of form, shape and color." Offering a sound introduction to the essentials of thread work on round surfaces and more than one hundred rod art patterns suitable for both advanced hobbyists and professionals, Custom Rod Thread Art is the authoritative work on the subject. 200 b/w photos and illustrations.

GREAT! December 28, 2004

This book is great. It has a lot of information other books of its kind simply ignore. There is also another book called Advanced Custom Rod Building, it is also extremely helpful and detailed. They go hand in hand. The Advanced book, has illustrations and takes you step by step. Really a great book to look into.
The most complete book on this subject I have seen April 17, 1999

As an Amature rod builder I was looking for somthing different to distinguish my work. This book taught me how to do some of the most difficult wraps.
The only book of it's kind on decorative thread wraps March 20, 1999

Clemens' third book covers all aspects of custom thread work. Starting with some general information on layout and a glossary of wrapping terms, it moves on to over 100 patterns for butt wraps developed by rod builders all over the world. The book also contains a section on weaving thread, with some patterns and information on how to develop your own designs. A word of warning, however. This is not a step by step beginner book. I would recommend reading and doing some of the more involved butt wraps in Clemens' Advanced Custom Rod Building before moving on to Custom Rod Thread Art.
