. The complete American and Canadian sportsman's encyclopedia of valuable instruction. Camping; Fishing; Hunting. formation of my readers I include a table of the most appropriate woods used in the manufacture of reliable rods, in the order named. Spiral or twisted Bamboo, Split Bamboo, {Cal- cutta,) Steel, Lancewood, Snakewood, Green- heart, Bethabarro, Ironwood, Maltese, Indian Bamboo, Japanese Bamboo, Hickory, Ash. The cost of these rods range from $ to $ although there are some good ones ranging from $ up; but as I confine my remarks to the bet- ter class of goods, deem it unnecessary to waste time and space on the other kind. If cheapness is the only consideration, why not select the common Bamboo pole, costing but 15 cents up and weigh- ing 2 or 3 pounds, and which is cut to fit and done with it. Among the well known popular makes or rods can be mentioned the following excellent grades: Kosmic, Silkien, Special, Gogebic, Divine, Burtis, Henshall, Bristol, Gunnison, Degame, Pelican Lake, Taylor, Rodgers, St. Lawrence, Hendrick- Kalamazoo-Cooney, etc., and for further reference note illustrations accompanying this chapter, or Hints and Pointers, elsewhere. These rods when not in use, should be kept in handy rod forms and cases, of which various styles are made and sold for the purpose, of either canvas or leather. About the Reel The reel is a small clockwork like device composed of numerous side cogs and wheels all joined to a suitable light skeleton frame, so ar- ranged as to be easily and securely fastened to the rod or pole. 161.
