Our Own Split Bamboo Bod "The Spalding," 



With Patent Serrated Waterproof Ferrules, are built with special reference to Uniformity of 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. 



Fig. l. 



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

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

 of the ferrule but 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 



Fig. 2. 



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 Bamboo whatever, and this, with 

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

 a9 is necessary with the ordinary ferrule, makes the rod 



Stronger at the Ferrules than at any other part. 



The merits of the numerous specialties which, we control are too well known to require 

 special mention, although we would like to call attention to 



The Bray Fly Book. 



The Bray Fly Book was first introduced by us during the season of 1886. It is the perfection of a fly book, and 

 has given the best satisfaction of anything of the kind we have ever seen, and no Angler has ever used it who is not 

 enthusiastic in its praise. In this book the flies may be as quickly attached as thrown into an ordinary envelope, and 

 at the same time perfectly secure, while they may be as readily detached; the snell regardless of its length is at all 

 times kept perfectly straight (the advantage of which every Angler will quickly appreciate), and each fly stands out so 

 that one can see in an instant his entire assortment and select the one he desires. The book is made of good material 

 and in the best possible manner.

The Universal Fish Rod Holder. 



We believe that this article will meet a long felt want. It is meant for trolling or still-fishing in a boat, and is used as cut will indicate. It can be fastened either to the gunwale or i 

 seat. It enables a person, if he desires, to go fishing without a guide to row for him, or to have two or three rods without their 

 being all over the bottom of boat to be stepped on and broken.

Fig. 2. 



WW i shows Holder as it would be fastened to seat. By means of thumb screw shown it may oe adjusted to any angle or any direction, as it works on a hall 

 and socket ioint Fig. 2 shows it on side of boat also, with rod in. It will be seen that the rod is perfectly secure, at the same time it may be taken out or put in in an 

 instant In this cut the rod shown has the reel seat ahead of hand, but it will take any rod equally as well, whether reel be ahead or behind, or butt fin. or 2m. in diameter. It is 

 neatly and strongly made and tinned. Price, put up one in box, $1.50 each.
