Vol 5 #3 may june 2002 two handed rod

To make a long story short I found out from Tom that this issue is out of stock after I tried to order it. A cd for this volume is not available yet. I am interested in the article on building two handed fly rods by R>B Meiser. I am building a switch version in a 10 ft 6 in 5 wt. I have all the stuff. I am interested in the article for information on the rod grips--size etc. I plan on a removalble fighting but so I can change the length of the butt which will be my rear handle. I bought more cork the past 6 weeks than I can count looking for the perfect pattern. I thought I would be done by now but ordering via mail order can be slow. I have searched the forum for information. Comments on foregrip length are welcomed.

We may have gotten our wires crossed - the Volume 5 CD is available and I have a very few left.

They never added it to the website. I had already decided to discontinue them by the time we got around to an update.

Order Volume 4 and in the comments section indicate that you want Volume 5. I'll take care of it.

Tom,

I have a question about articles written for the magazine. Now this mainly has to do with volumes that are out of print and not available on CD. Here goes: Do the authors of the article have copyright control of the article or is that given up once it is submitted to you and printed? My point being, couldn't one in need of a certain article email the author and get a copy emailed to them? Keeping in mind that this is only for volumes that are out of print, and not available on CD.

I own the copyright to anything and everything that appears in RodMaker, forever. The information is the author's, the article as it appeared in the magazine is mine.

No one may reproduce, sell, distribute, etc., RodMaker articles other than myself.
