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 and 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.

Casting Rod 
Here is my own Casting: Red. 
I am having it made for all fish¬ 
ermen who want it, at my fac¬ 
tory for the first time this season. 
It has my own pet ideas. That's 
why you can make a longer and 
more accurate cast with it. 
There’s my patent locking reel 
band which locks and releases the 
reel by a slight hand movement. 
This is a two-piece rod with the resili 
ence of a one-piece rod and almost the 
carrying convenience of a -three-piece. I use only 
select imported bamboo and only the butt cuts (first 
6 feet). These are air dried for months. 
Of course I guarantee this rod —guarantee it 
against any breakage from reasonable use. It will 
outlast any other style of rod made—wood or steel. 
Send for My Free Pamphlet 
on Bait Casting 
I’ve just got out a new catalog with several 
pages on "The Art of Bait Casting’;—the best points 
of my own experience, and my articles for the out¬ 
ing publications. If you are a bait caster, or want 
to be one, it will give you some valuable tips. It has 
a lot of colored illustrations, and it shows my 
Dowagiac Split Bamboo Bait Casting Rods—some 
of finer detail and finish than others, but all guar¬ 
anteed. Write me. /d .
