 be used in connection with this reelseat (Fig. 

 1 8), as will be explained in the proper place. 



For all single-hand fly- and bait-casting rods 

 reelseats of three-quarter inch diameter are 

 standard, and seven-eighths or one inch for 

 medium weight salt water and salmon rods. 

 In ordering reelseats, the diameter of the small 

 end of the taper must be specified. Generally 

 these are 15-32, y 2 inch, 17-32, and 19-32 of 

 an inch. 



Reelseats for fly-rods are like Fig. 18, with 

 the exception that the bottoms are closed. For 

 this purpose the taper is generally narrower.
