ANGLING REQUISITES, FOR SEASON 1887. 



LIST OF RODS. 



BEFORE describing our range of rods, we would like to state, for the 

 special benefit of the intending purchaser, that we send rods for choice 

 on receipt of a cash deposit amounting to half the value of the rods 

 selected to be submitted on approval. By this arrangement we are 

 enabled to reach our clients everywhere in a manner most satisfactory. 



The above system of supply has proved so increasingly successful in 

 suiting the needs of the ever-extending army of anglers, who are 

 habitually the users and the commenders of our improved and refined 

 requisites, that we are now prepared to extend to new correspondents 

 and old patrons alike the benefits thus offered. Our rods are an 

 embodiment of best possible workmanship and best materials, and when 

 we add that we employ, first best appliances only, for accurate building, 

 &c., the query " How is it Foster's rods are so much the rage?" needs 

 not a long pondered reply. 



We produce rods at varying prices for all kinds of rod fishing, and to 

 strangers to our productions who need proof to convince, we would 

 suggest that they CONTRAST our lowest or highest priced fly or other rod 

 with any rod to be got ANYWHERE, EITHER AT HOME OR ABROAD, at the 

 same price ; as there is invariably less value given in every way, we 

 with confidence invite the test. Several imitators of our rod improve- 

 ments, and 'p rticularly of the steel centre, taking advantage of the 

 universal demand, have had the hardihood and cool audacity to adver- 

 tise their piracies 75 to 100 per cent, more in price than that of the 

 original and genuine article. Owing to a clever regard to the bounds 

 of legality, these unscrupulous freebooters have hitherto contrived to 

 avoid the trammels of the legal net, but seeing that a limp and wayward 

 piano string is the nearest approach they make to our stiff, needlelike,
