ANSWER. The fly-casting reel is single action, 

 the spool turning each time with the handle, while 

 the bait-casting reel is quadruple-multiplying, the 

 spool making four turns to one of the handle. This 

 is for speed in casting and reeling in with limited 

 work of the hands, while the reel for the fly-caster 

 merely is a storage place for line. 



QUESTION. What do you think of the Shake- 

 speare Standard Professional reel and do you think 

 the level winding affair on the level winders of any 

 value ? T. M. B. 



ANSWER. The Standard Professional is a fine 

 reel and a low priced one; it will stand up under 

 hard usage and last a long time if given a little care. 

 The level-winding arrangement on the Shakespeare 

 reels is successful and quite an aid to the reel in its 

 work. 



QUESTION. How often should a reel be oiled? 

 M. M.S. 



ANSWER. Oil your reel every day if used for 

 bait casting. Don't drown it with oil, a drop at each 

 bearing is plenty and all surplus oil should be wiped 

 off as it collects dust and sand.

 Reel; is it half as good as claimed? Hal. J.
