Your commitment to your customers is unmatched. To already have the number one rod building publication and yet still continue to improve and expand it runs contrary to what most companies do these days.

The B&W photos were already clear and sharp, best I've seen. But the color was even better so I look forward to seeing the whole thing in color from now on. Thanks from a lifetime subscriber. You da' man!

Tom, you continue to amaze me! Having been involved for my entire career in the printing and publishing business, I have an appreciation for what you do with RodMaker Magazine

How you find time to do anything but the magazine is a real puzzle. Going full color is a big step and one that your readers will appreciate, it makes it even more "a treasure!"

Looking forward to seeing you again in High Point.

Tom,

Your passion for excellence is apparent in every issue of RodMaker. The shift to full color will only enhance your already wonderful publication. I treasure my RM collection.
I'll be happy to see you again in High Point in Feb.

Tom, Thank-you for doing this. I often thought it would be a perfect magazine if it were in color.

I am not a lifetime subscriber. I do however have every issue except for two and of course the couple which were for vendors only.


Mike Barkely, Thanks to you too. You can pay for my subscription. That would be paying double for you. We could both be happy!!!

Presently, 2 signatures are in color and 2 are in black & white. Beginning with Volume 14 #2, all 4 signatures (the entire magazine) will be in color.

Tom,
I just subscribed for the first time and received my first copy on Thursday. Wow what a nice magazine. Very high class and better than any other magazine I have ever subscribed to. My only complaint would be it is too short not enough pages but I can understand after reading the link you posted. My hope is that it attracts more and more subscribers so that you can add more content to each issue. Keep up the great work.
