By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the 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 Mch of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water mds; 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. Indispensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 6o working drawings, making plain
