Fig. 1 shows the male and female ferrules. Fig. 2 shows the same mounted, the 

 serrated ends beirjg wound with silk and varnished, which not only increases the strength 

 of the ferrule hut also excludes all moisture and gives it a neat appearance. 



The serrated, shouldered waterproof ferrule is unquestionably the best 



FERRULE FOR SPLIT BAMBOO RODS EVER INVENTED, as it StiengthenS the joint AT THE 



ferrule, which is the weak point in all other makes of split bamboo rods. All other 

 ferrules, whether split or otherwise, present a stiff, unyielding edge to the bamboo, which 

 tends to cut or crack the enamel when the rod is subjected to a strain, thereby increasing

the liability of breaking the joint. This cannot happen if the Serrated Ferrule is 

 used, as it presents no edge to the Bam»>oo whatever, and this, with 

 the "shoulder," which permits of the full size of the joint being used without cutting away, 

 as is necessary with the ordinary ferrule, makes the rod 



Stronger at the Ferrules than at auy other parf,.

SPALDING'S 



Metal Ceiter ErnelM Lino. 



A good idea iu the way of a Line for Casting 

 was abandoned several years ago on account of 

 the inability of manufacturers to make same 

 without many objectionable features. We refer to 

 the old Hair and Silk Line, which was, until a 

 few years ago, the line for fine fishing. The 

 properties which made it so were its springy and 

 stiff nature, which prevented it when striking on 

 a tree or bush from clinging and fastening itself 

 to every twig. This was so good a feature that, 

 despite that it was rough, knotty and kinky, still , 

 made it very popular, but so many smooth and 

 fine lines came on the market that the good 

 quality of the Hair and Silk was given up with 

 regret that it could not be had with a line com- 

 bining other good qualities with it. Until the 

 present year nothing was found, but now in our 

 Patent Metal Center Line we think that we have 

 it. It possesses the springy quality of the line 

 referred to, at the same time in all other respects 

 is an absolutely perfect line, is soft and elegant, 

 with a perfect enamel which will not crack off, 

 and we feel positive that it will be a very popular 

 line with anglers. The prices are as follows :
