Bethabara and Degama Wood Rods 


These Rods are made BY HAND of selected woods and under my own 
supervision. They have stood the test of time and are considered superic- 
by many of the most expert anglers in the country. Iam also making the 
same (best) of LANCEWOOD and GREENHEART rods. Of SPLIT BAM- 
BOOS I can recommend the 
Leech Combination 

This is the perfection of a Combination Rod. It will make either a 
9 1-2 foot fly-rod or an 8 foot bass rod, suitable for either trolling or bait 
casting. Made as follows: A reversible hand grasp, so that when used with 
fly-rod you have the reel seat below the hand, making a fiy-rod of three 
pieces and ashort grasp. The bass trolling or casting rod 1s made with an 
extra short grasp that fits into the head of reel seat of reversibie butt, mak- 
ing a double grasp rod. This part of rod is of two pieces, a tip and second 
joint, and the two short grasps, which combined make the double grasp. 
Price in split bamboo, $30; bethabara, $20; greenheart, $15; degama, $12; 
lancewood, $10. This includes cork grasp and German silver mountings. 
The Quaspeake Club Rod 
This beautiful rod is only seven feet in length and weighs three ounces, 
It is designed for small stream work where open and brush fishing alter- 
nates It will cast forty to fifty feet with ease, and, owing to its length 
has sufficient backbone to kill a three-pound trout without strain or dam- 
age. For brush fishing itisjust the thing. This rod is finished with care 
and its construction will compare favorably with the best split bamboo 
rods in the market.
