ished to suit the carefullest of 

 tastes. With this style the guide 

 might be belled to reduce friction. 

 I have had to be satisfied with 

 the regular form of tip or end 

 guide, because the spirial type 

 (also adapted from the sewing 

 machine) does not work very 

 well, because fly casting and bait 



fishing in brushy trout streams it 

 has often unwound, or at least 

 tangled the line. It has been 

 used, though, to good effect in a 

 rod used for trolling, and has the 

 significant advantage that one 

 may take down his rod and wind 

 up his reel without taking bait or 

 sinker from the line. 



I don't doubt but that some of 

 OUTER'S BOOK readers, with more 

 ingenuity than the author, will, if 

 they try, find a way which will 

 not allow the line to tangle at the 

 top. 



There would, of course, be no 

 need for carrying the fine parts of 

 this type of guide too far. With 

 the large guides of a bait-casting 

 rod there is no need for this 

 broken ring guide, and it would 

 be folly to try to substitute it, 

 but in the little outfit that you 

 want always with you, the get- 

 there-quick variety, it seems very 

 likely that this should find its 

 place and keep it. 



A QUICK UNTYING KNOT 



BY PHILIP H. GREELEY 

 The knot shown in the sketches 

 is one that will be found very 

 convenient in tying fishing line to 

 bait, hooks, leaders, etc., as it can 

 be untied instantly, yet, if made 

 correctly, i-t will stand a line 

 breaking test without pulling out. 

 The knot makes a clove hitch 

 that has a loop so that it can be 

 pulled out quickly. 



In the sketches A represents a 

 ring like the eye of a swivel, B
