SOLID HEXAGONAL GREENHEART 

 FLY RODS. 



ALSO IN WASHABA, &c.

 rod without steel centres, and the extra stiffness thus imparted brings 

 the play nearer that of the metal-cored rods than any other all-wood 

 implement.

TAT 



BEFORE CEMENTING. AFTER CEMENTING. 



Diagonal cane-built rods were originally made in this country some 

 forty-seven years ago. They were not only spliced in the manner shown 

 in the above sections, but in addition, at intervals of every foot, or less, 

 along the rod's joints, in the same way as is it usual to splice a top. 

 This necessitated the rods being almost one half covered with wrappings. 

 This idea seemed to be that the periodic round rim or joint on single 

 cane was untrustworthy, and was not in consequence fit for use. The 

 plan of planing the raised knot-like rim, which is the hardest part of 

 the cane, to an even surface, and thus building full-length parts or joints 

 without the presence of constantly occurring masses of silk bindings, is 

 of a much later date. This was perhaps not so important an advance
