THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tournament 
casting and at the work bench. He theorizes jmd speculates not at all. He tells “the 
how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. All 
explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indispen¬ 
sable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.

True Anglers Use 
THE WILLIAMS BARBLESS HOOK 
Because it is guaranteed to catch and hold better than a 
barbed hook, and you can remove the fish without injury. 
Yearlings spawn, and their killing wastes thousands of eggs. 
Does this mean anything to you? It means ruin to a glorious 
sport. The Williams Barbless Hook is a scientific and prac¬ 
tical lure, no mechanism, just its ingenious shape. Highest 
quality, standard files, $1.G0 per dozen, assorted. Postpaid.
