52 MODERN PRACTICAL ANGLER. 



By changing the top joint of the double-handed fly- 

 rod for top No. 3 it becomes a suitable rod for worm or 

 creeper fishing ; or by substituting top No. 4, for Trout 

 minnow-spinning, or light paternosting. On a substi- 

 tution of the stiff top for the two upper joints, it becomes 

 a trolling and spinning rod. 



On replacing the original joints, and taking off the 

 large joint and butt, and substituting the smaller butt, a 

 single-handed fly-rod is formed ; and by a slight change 

 of tops this can be made suitable for float or punt- 

 fishing.
