A HOME MADE ROD 
(continued from page 124) 
least three good coats of rod varnish, al¬ 
lowing one coat to dry thoroughly, before 
putting on the next. 
T HE bait-casting rod is made by the 
same method, but on different di¬ 
mensions. The one joint is three 
feet, three inches long. The diameter 
measurements are five-sixteenths of an 
inch at the butt, and tapering to one-eighth 
inch at the tip, the taper being regular. 
I was led to these dimensions by a study 
of the five-foot bait-casting rod. In the 
two-piece rod, the tip does all the work of 
casting, the butt being simply an unneces¬ 
sarily long handle. Cut out this part, and 
you have the light, short four-foot rod. 
It is argued against this style of rod 
that it is too short to be sportsmanlike. 
Such ideas show the influence of Dr. Hen- 
shall’s arguments on rod lengths. Also it 
is stated that such a short rod will not 
control a bass as well as a short one, that 
is, the fish would more easily get away. Is 
it not working toward that higher standard 
of sportsmanship to which we all aspire, 
to give the fish the greater odds in the 
short rod? Is it not more sportsmanlike 
to give the fish more opportunity to escape, 
and so compel more finesse in its capture? 
With the short rod, I have frequently cast 
thirty-five yards, or better, when “plug- 
gin,” all that is necessarjv 
The cork handle is inches long, set 
between cedar i% inches at one end 
and at the other. Total length, 
twelve inches. The swelled cork grasp 
fits my hand better than either of the 
other two styles. The reel seat con¬ 
sists of a double slot and key, without reel 
bands. The lines in the diagram show the 
construction. The part cut away to form 
the reel seat is just long enough to allow 
the seat of the reel to enter by thrusting 
the fore part of the seat into the front 
slot. Then the back part of the seat is 
lowered and pulled into the back slot; the 
key is forced in sidewise, holding the reel 
firmly in place. When not in use, the key 
fits snugly in the forward slot. 
This is the lightest type of rod I know 
of. With a metal reel seat, extra ferrules 
for joints, and German silver guides, this , 
rod would have twice the weight, without 
any more strength, or equal action. Light¬ 
ness is secured by using aluminum for 
guide, and by dispensing with all metal 
possible. The bait-casting rod handle is 
also detachable, and of. the ordinary type, 
with metal reel seat. It is double-ended, 
and can be used for a fly rod likewise. 
The fly rod will handle forty feet of 
line with ease, all I have ever tried. As it 
has no ferrules, except at the butt, to break 
the action, and is more homogeneous in 
material than the two or three piece type, 
it has more resiliency and casting power 
proportionally. 
One situation which has militated against 
rods of this length and style has been the 
difficulty of protecting and carrying them 
safely. In this case, the problem has been 
solved by having a cover made long enough 
for the single joint rod and large enough 
so that a sufficient number of joints of 
another rod may be inserted as a protection.
