glass, then reglue the rod tying it together until it 

 dries. Rewind with silk as you wish and varnish, 

 using good varnish and letting it dry between coats. 

 Before varnishing you will, of course, scrape the 

 outer side of the rod. 



QUESTION. What is a good cement for ferrules? 

 D. L. 



ANSWER. Dodge's cement is most generally used 

 and it is good stuff. 



QUESTIO-N. What do you think of the Heddon's 

 rod for bait casting? W. M. 



ANSWER. The Heddon's rod is made on the 

 long-tip, short-butt construction, and is a fine fishing 

 tool. The strain is not on the ferrule in landing a 

 fish, as the two-piece make with the short butt brings 

 the ferrule well below the center of the rod, where 

 the bend comes, and that is where the break would 

 come. It is far preferable to the three-piece split 

 bamboos. You can get them from $2 up to $15 

 and all good values. 



QUESTION. How can I take a " set " out of my 

 fly rod? R. J. V. 



ANSWER. If the warp or set is in the entire rod, 

 hang it up by the tip with a weight attached to the 

 butt. If the set is only in one joint hang it up with 

 weight on the end of the warped joint.
