256 SALMON AND TROUT RODS 



ful, has an excellent action, and is well balanced 

 altogether a very sound and delightful rod. Messrs. 

 Ogden Smith keep this rod in order for three years 

 free of charge ; price, 5 5s. with rod case. 



The " Multum in Parvo " rod made by Jas. Ogden, 

 of Cheltenham, is a cheap but excellent rod, made with 

 blue Mahoe wood or greenheart, with cork handles. 

 It is to be had in sizes from 8 feet to 10 feet 6 inches, 

 and it is a light and at the same time powerful 

 two-joint dry fly rod. The price is 1 Is. It has a 

 permanent spear fixed on the butt. 



Holbrow and Co., of 40, Duke Street, among many 

 excellent rods, make an especially good and cheap 

 trout 8-feet greenheart rod at 1 2s. I have used this 

 rod continuously, and it is as light to handle as a 

 "Leonard." It is well balanced and strong, and can 

 throw a remarkably good line. 



The Junior Army and Navy Stores sell a very good 

 close- whipped greenheart rod, called the " Test." Its 

 length is 10 feet, it weighs about 10 ounces, and its 

 price is 1 15s. 6d. ; a very useful, well-balanced, and 

 pleasant rod. 



Among other rod-makers whose rods I have used and 

 found always of the best are those of Eaton and 

 Dellars, and Enright and Son, of Castle Connell. 



Gamage and Co. sell a very excellent little spinning 

 rod. It is perhaps a little stiff for trout, but for pike 

 and sea trout, etc., it is admirable. It is made of 

 split cane and fitted with agate rings throughout, and 

 costs 3 3s.
