MANUFACTURER, IMPORTER, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DEALER IN 



Conroy's Celebrated Hexagonal Splii Bamboo Rods 



-^^S--^- With Patent Serrated, Waterproof Ferrules and Patent 



" - - - Universal Reel Seat. 



"7 " * Unequalled for Uniformity of Spring, Durability and Beauty of Finish. 



The Serrated Ferrale (Pat. July 21, 1885) is beyoJid all question the best ferrule for split bamboo rods ever invented. All other rod ferrules, whether split or otherwise, 

 present a sharp, unyielding edge on which the bamboo impinges when the rod is bent under the strain, and which tends to cut or crack the enamel, thereby increasing the liability of 

 breaking the joint at that point. The Serrated Ferrule, prae^iting no edge to the bamboo whatever, entirely overcomes this serious objection. A rod mounted with this ferrule, when 

 under a strain, is Us strong at the ferrules as at any other pai't. Fig. 1 shows the male and female ferrules. Fig. 2 shows the same jointed and mounted, the serrated ends being neatly 

 wound with silk and varnished, which excludes all moisture. My Patent Universal Reel Seat will fit perfectly and securely hold any reel from the smallest to the largest 

 size made. Descriptive circulars mafled free on application.
