Fishing Kits And Equipment Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Fishing Kits and Equipment And let us buy for the days of spring While yet the north winds blow! For half the joy of the trip, my boy, Is getting your traps to go. The Tent Dwellers. Anglers, so far as the tackle question is concerned, may be divided into two classes; those who make their own rods, flies and certain other items of the fishing kit, and those who from lack of mechanical ability or time, or perhaps inclination, buy their tackle. That this latter class is very greatly in the majority goes without saying; and it is equally certain that a large part of the tackle bought is entirely unsuited, for various reasons, to the purpose for which it was intended.

Excerpt from Fishing Tackle, Vol. 36 To a great many anglers, too, the idea of repairing their own rods and tackle seems im possible, while as for making little odds and ends of constant usefulness, this is believed to be a task to be looked at only in the light of certain failure. In my little workshop I have a few simple tools with which I have made a number of articles, which if not handsome, have at least given me the greatest satisfaction when they proved to be practical. There are very few anglers who cannot do even better work. Dur ing the long evenings of autumn and winter a great deal of amusement may be obtained from overhauling the fishing rods and tackle, making little devices for use the next season, and giv ing the weary brain change and rest from the exactions of one's daily toil.

Almost as much pleasure may be derived from the care and rigging up of the tackle as from the actual sport itself, and many happy hours may be spent, when fishing is off, in refitting tackles to a nicety, gauging their strength, and generally overhauling the rod, reel and line, so that when the supreme moment arrives and the big fish is on in deadly earnest the wielder of the rod may know exactly the strain his outfit will with stand and just what latitude he can allow the monster battling for life in the depths.
