The Bray Fly Book. 



The Bray Fly Book was first 

 introduced by us during the 

 season of 188(5; it is the perfec- 

 tion of a fly book, and lias 

 given the best satisfaction of 

 anything of the kind we have 

 ever seen, and no angler has 

 ever used it who is not enthu- 

 siastic in its praise. In this book 

 the flies may be as quickly at- 

 tached as thrown into an ordi- 

 nary envelope, and at the same 

 time perfectly secure, while 

 they may be as readily de- 

 tached ; the snell regardless of 

 its length is at all times kept 

 perfectly straight (the advan- 

 tage of which every angler will 

 quickly appreciate), and each 

 fly stands out so that one can 

 see in an instant his entire as- 

 sortment and select the one he 

 desires. The book is made of 

 good material and in the best 

 possible manner.

Improved Automatic Reel, 



PERFECT AT LAST. 



In calling the attention of the public to the 

 Automatic Reel as manufactured and sold in 1888, 

 we wish to point out the improvements made in 

 its construction, and to emphasize the advantages 

 we claim for it: advantages hundreds of expert 

 fishermen have testified to. 



With regard to improvements, besides two 

 sizes of Reels. Nos. 1 a.ud 2, which are made of 

 metal in three different styles for each size, Brass, 

 Nickel and Bronze, we have also manufactured a 

 new Rubber "Automatic," about 1 ounce lighter 

 than the metal, and regard it as our best Reel, 

 and of the same sizes as No. 1 and No. 2. All of 

 these Reels are made from first-class stock, and 

 are exquisitely finished. 



The mechanical parts haviDg been thoroughly 

 reconstructed, are far superior both as to strength 

 and durability, at the same time retaining all the 

 required activity and sensitiveness when in use, 

 and in fact perfect in all its wearing parts.- Each 

 part of ttie reel being so constructed that tiny 

 part thereof may be duplicated in case of acci- 

 dent &t a trifling cost 



We guarantee that with our preseni Newly Improve i Automatic Reel 

 when once used, no fisherman after giving the Automatic 

 Reel a thorough trial will ever venture to return 

 to the old style Crank Reel, 

 Every Reel is separately examined by an expert fisherman, and fully 

 tested to its fullest capacity before it is put on the market. 



The Spalding Premier Split Bamboo Rods, 



With Patent Serrated Waterproof Ferrules, aTe built T*i1h Special Reference to Uniformity ot Spring and Durability, and have no 

 equal. We guarantee them to be absolutely perfect. The reputation they have gained is a guarantee of their merits. 



The "Gogebic" Trout & Bass Reel. 



In presenting: this lice 

 of Reels to anglers, we 

 call attention to the 

 moderate pi ice and 

 practical value over the 

 majority of reels, as are 

 pointed out in the fol- 

 lowing description: 



They can be changed 

 at will from trout click 

 to free running bass 

 refls. The laige diam- 

 eter of spool makes the 

 multiplication equal to 

 any quadruple reel 

 made, and the open side 

 discs permit of a free 

 circulation of air, which 

 dries line quickly on 

 spool, and is of practi- 

 cal value in keeping any 

 line in prime condition, 

 thereby preserving it 

 from rottenness, which 

 often occurs on the old 

 style closed disc reels 

 where line is left on wet.
