In considering the purchase of a wood rod the angler must bear in mind that the merits of the sticks 1" Practical Bait Casting"; Macmillan Co.; New York, 1918. used in making a rod have much to do with the excellence of the finished product. Lancewood Perhaps I am prejudiced as regards lancewood as my first fly rod was of that material and nobly did it perform. The best type of lancewood rod probably is made up with an ash butt as rods made entirely of lancewood are a trifle heavy although some anglers prefer them. Lancewood comes from Cuba, the best sticks being light yellow in color and free from dark stains. One of the largest American tackle houses claims that lancewood has lost favor mainly because of inferior material being sold as this wood. |
