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.

 Clemens creates work of Art November 11, 2008
Dale Clemens has done it again and created a great book on working with rods. The patterns are great and a lot of them.His use of tape to create a pattern works and I have created some of my own using this method.
Gift for my husband August 5, 2008
My husband loves this book. It's informative and useful. He's already put a few applications he learned from this book to use.
 very advanced July 30, 2008
This book is NOT for the average joe who wants to wrap one of his favorite rods with a custom butt wrap! If you are a novice in the field of rod wrapping this book will be a long way over your head, I know it was over mine. Mr. Clements and his buddies have worked out a list of the patterns and all of the names and sequence of each different wrap, then he assumes that you should already know all the terms he applies to the instructions. Also there are NO COLOR pictures in this book, the only color is used on the front and back covers and of course a color photo of Mr. Clements. All the drawings seem to be hand done and are in black and various shades of gray.
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.
