Tho Irish fly-rodfl are screwed together at each joint, and arc much more elastic than tho English rods. THE TBOLLINO ROD Should be very strong, and not less than twelve nor more than sixteen feet in length, with large rings upon it, that the line may run frecl>. The rod for spinning a Minnow or Bleak should be of ))amboo cane, and from eighteen to twenty feet long, with a tolerably stiff top ; tho rings should be placed at a moderate distance from each other, and be of the middle size. The barbed rod, for angling with the ledger-bait, should have a stiff top, and bo about eleven or twelve feet in length; but for float- fisliing it must be much lighter and something longer. Thl rod for Roach and Dace should be of bamboo cane, and, if for bank-fishing, from eighteen to twenty feet long ; but if for angling from a punt, not more than eleven or twelve feet. It must be very light, perfectly taper, and of a proper degree of elasticity, as the anger's success in Roach and Dace-fishing will depend upon his dexterity and quickness in striking when ho has a bite. Many anglers never fish without running-tackle, that they may be always prepared to encounter a large fish ; but they must not hope to meet with the same sport in Roach and Dace-fishing as those do who use a light rod without rings, and a short line, when the chance of striking your fish is much more certain. LINES. The b:;st lines for running-tackle are composed of silk and hair, of different degrees of strength and thickness, according to the purpose for which they arc intended.
