3—Additional bands on hips and eaves. 4--Eave width is 5 ft.; support rods interchange-

are divided into three classes, namely, 
bait rods, bait-casting rods, and fly 
rods. These rods may be further sub- 
divided into almost as many styles with 
reference to weight, length, price, etc., 
as there are fresh-water fishes. In al- 
most all rural sections, the long cane 
pole is still popular, and for bait fish- 
ing it surely is a fish getter. 
OME old time bait anglers declare 
an affection for the cane pole to 
such an extent that, even though they 
live in the city, they purchase a jointed 
one, fourteen or sixteen feet in length. 
Such a rod may be obtained fitted with 
reel bands and guides, and is ideal for 
still fishing with minnows or worms for 
perch, pickerel and other fish taken by 
this method. 
The ordinary three piece jointed bait 
rod is usually eight to nine feet in 
length and is made of split bamboo, 
solid wood or steel. Most of them have 
the reel above the hand. They are quite 
heavy and stiff and made to stand hard 
work. A good type of bait rod is the 
stripping rod. This is merely a heavy 
fly rod (reel below hand); in use, the 






canvas floor. 9--Bobbinette Screen Door. 10--7 ft. Awning Extension. 10A--Two 
sectional 1 in. round hardwood awning poles. 11---Curtains form a door with 
large overlap. When opened they snap on to awning extension. 12---Two

“That’s the Ole Fight” 
Did you ever hear a fisherman 
say that as he was landing the 
one that was even bigger than 
the one that got away? If you 
did, it was ‘‘way up in Maine,” 
line, which should be of the enameled E. M. WHITE & C0. 7, ee 
style and very fine, is stripped from the Old Town, Me. where the fightin’est fishin’ in 
reel and the bait cast by a side motion. Est. 1890. the world may be found. 
The weight of the bait traveling 
through the air pulls the line after it 
from the ground or the seat of the boat 
where it has been roughly coiled. Casts 
of from forty to sixty feet may be 
made in this way, and it is also a good 
method to use with a small casting 
spoon and a strip of pork rind or 
pickerel-belly. 
A bait rod that has been popular for 
years is the one designed by Doctor
