A first class hand made rod of lance can be bought for about six dollars; a nine footer weighs about 61/4 ounces. Dagama Dagama also comes from Cuba and is similar to lancewood but is said to be more durable and free from pin knots. It is heavier than lance, a nine foot rod weighing 61/2 ounces, and a rod of this material costs about one dollar more. Greenheart In England greenheart is the most popular rod making material, not excepting bamboo, although the latter is making great headway as its merits become bet- ter known. Greenheart comes from South America and is of the color of walnut, being strong and fairly resilient. It takes a nice finish and makes a handsome rod but compared with bamboo it is somewhat heavy and not quite as " snappy " in action — which is true of all wood rods. |
