STEEL RING GUIDES
By Was. Gurcazon
Some time ago I received as a premium with my subscription a Heddon rod of the kind that sells for a dollar and a half. It has better action than my five-and-a-half-foot steel rod, However, when I looked at the guides I saw that they were not just as I would like to have them. They may have been as good as any, but J had an idea that they could be improved up on, As I happen to be so fortunate as to have the use of a foot-power lathe, I set to work to make the improvement. First I got a piece of steel out of which I cut the rings. These I made as nearly like the agates on my steel rod as I could. After turning them up and polishing them, I hardened them as hard as possible. Then in the groove on the outside of each ring I fitted a good stiff wire. Where the wire crossed on the lower side I soldered it. I then brought the ends out at right angles and flattened them.
After that I mounted them in place of the old guides, took another look at the job and chuckled.
