More Sunken Fly Information 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
jae a very old reader of your maga- 
zine, in fact from my boyhood days, 
when “Dad” was a subscriber, I was 
interested in a letter appearing in your 
last issue from Mr. Charles Baterman, 
of Boston, Mass., relative to taking 
bass on a sunken fly. My experience is 
that fish will strike at the fly moved 
around by the swinging bait more than 
at the bait itself. Would like to hear 
through your columns from other old- 
timers.

with little hollows between for the 
edges of the hand. The tapering pat- 
tern is liked by many and is very good 
if not too thick. 
ROBABLY the best grip for a bait- 
casting rod is the one with the butt 
end slightly swelled, as this gives you 
a cushion on which the base of the hand 
rests when casting. Many anglers 
favor the double grip, that is, a small 
cork grip above the reel seat in addi- 
tion to the regular grip. This is pro- 
vided as a rest for the fingers of the 
left hand in spooling the line. The 
great trouble with the forward grip is 
that it is apt to be too thick and thereby 
cramp the fingers. It should be small 
enough to feel comfortable when the 
fingers are placed over it. Sometimes 
a bit of sandpaper will work wonders 
with the forward grip ordinarily found 
on standard rods. 
The reel seat may be constructed of 
metal (preferably German silver) or, as 
is sometimes the case with fly rods, of 
cedar or oak with a reel band. Reel 
seats made of the latter material give 
the rod a good appearance and cut 
down its weight by about  three- 
fourths of an ounce, but this last fea- 
ture isn’t really an advantage, as it 
is apt to make the rod top heavy so that 
one will have to use a heavier reel in 
order to balance it. On a bait-casting 
rod, a locking reel band is a positive 
advantage. The best type is one with 
a screw device, tightened by means of 
a nut with a round knurled head. 
PLIT bamboo and wood rods are 
given several coats of varnish be- 
fore they leave the maker, but this 
wears off with use and it is a safe plan 
to give a rod a coat of varnish at the 
close of the season, if the rod has seen 
a reasonable amount of use. 
Where the varnish chips off, water 
is apt to enter the wood and cause im- 
It will identify you.
