Ferrules for Bait Casting Rods
In regard to ferrules and ferrule material, hand grasp material, and the like, the reader is referred to Chapter 3. Guides for the casting rod are very different from those for the fly-rod and demand separate discussion. The short casting rod as it first appeared generally in the tackle stores was fitted with very large guides, made of one or several turns of wire, the diameter of the guides being sometimes as large or even larger than a twenty-five cent piece. Few good rods are found at the present time fitted with these exaggerated Kalamazoo guides, although you will occasionally see them in use. They are not necessary; they burden the rod; make the rod unhandy to put in its case; and — do not use them. Of course the idea was to avoid the friction of the out-running line, but experience has proven that the more conservative guides are nearly if not quite as efficient.
