THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP I 
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 
P 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 aaid 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, i8o pages, four full-page illustrations, 6o working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.

The FREEPORT HOOK Will 
CAXCM F'ISH 
It will (and does) CATCH FISH, because it is scientifically 
constructed—built with a purpose. 
That purpose is the enabling of tishermen-sportsmen to 
enjoy the sport 
The FREEPORT HOOK is made right, because I first con¬ 
trived it solely for my own use. 
It is hand-made, in all parts, from the best materials 
procurable—each HOOK tested to hold big fish. 
It is absolutely w'eedless and snag-proof—among lily 
pads, roots, logs or sunken tree-tops. 
Halt is always in natural position and motion—and the 
scientific color is a perfect, natural lure. 
If you want to know all about this scientific fish-hook 
that will catch fish, write for my handsome illustrated booklet— 
it’s FREE, 
Last season, thousands of fishermen-sportsmen bought 
“FREEPORT HOOK.S” — re-ordered — told their friends—the 
friends ordered—re-ordered — told their friends — they ALL said: 
“ Best we ever used.” 
I have words of praise from hundreds of the most prominent 
sportsmen and business men of the country. 
And I can prove it. 
ASK YOUR DEALER—or send me SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS 
for one complete “ FREEPfJR'T HOOK,” prepaid.
