A note on Bob Sigman's rods from Per Brandin. "The quality of his rods was in my opinion deserving of wider recognition; they were always beautiful with top grade workmanship and as I remember his actions were very good. I did share with him the semi-hollow construction that I developed and then evolved with Mario while in California and I believe many of his rods incorporate this semi-hollow construction, though I believe he also made many solid rods throughout his career. Bob was a gentleman and a quality bamboo rod builder, and he will be missed."
