Best of the Planing Form by Robert McKeon and Ronald J. Barch
A collection of articles, drawings, essays and anecdotes from around the
world. Edited from The Planing Form, an international newsletter
dedicated to crafting a bamboo fly rod.
Never before in angling history has there been such an attempt to
gather, edit and compile the knowledge found between these covers. With
over 7 years worth of information on split bamboo rods along with
international reader involvement, The Planing Form newsletter has kept
the flame alive.
Among these pages a reader will get more than a glimpse into a craft
turned art … so come and take an over-the-shoulder look at the world of
split bamboo rods and rodmaking. Join with dozens of craftsmen from
around the world in this, the first five years (And then some!) of the
Best of The Planing Form.
For those who share in and appreciate a time-honored craft this book
presents detailed, insightful, often ingenious articles such as:
The magic and mystique of bamboo rods
The tools, tricks and techniques
Finishing from tip to grip
Planing form designs
Discussion of rod tapers (and diagrams)
Attaching ferrules to bamboo
Angler’s guide to selecting a split bamboo rod

edge. Discover and share in something unique from cane rod design to
construction “how to’s,” along with in-depth analysis for those who
“always wanted a bamboo rod!”
