transported. The cost of rods at the tackle stores
is $1 50 and $2 50 up to $5 for ordinary ones; and
$10, $15, $20, and even as high as $50 for the best
and most scientific articles. Some of them are made
to be used as a walking canes until needed for sport.
A perfect rod should gradually taper from end to end,
be tight in all its joints, and be equally and uniformly
pliable, not bending in one place more than another.
