 fishermen would use finer gut they would take twice as many fish as 

 they do on the heavy gut they use. 



I have tne split bamboo rod I bought of you eight years ago, and it is 

 just as good as new. 1 have caught thousands of fish with it, and have 

 uot been to any expense on it except to varnish it once a year.
