of the finger on the lever, but by the different sound made by 

 the two different pawls when in contact with the rachet 

 wheel. 



The ability to make the reel perfectly silent when winding 

 in is not only a great comfort to most fishermen, but less 

 likely to scare the fish at a critical moment, while the 

 usual wear and tear of the reel is considerably reduced. 



The entirely new invention of having two levers, each 

 of which operates similarly in the mechanism of this reel, 

 makes it both a left-handed and right-handed one at the 

 pleasure of the fisherman. 



The reel can be taken to pieces as shown in Diags. 26 and 

 27, and placed together in less than one minute. It is made 

 of the very best material and will be found equally valuable 

 as a reel for heavy or for light work. 



When trout fishing with the trout model of the reel, it will 

 be seen that the levers will always be within reach of the hand 

 holding the trout rod, whether the latter be held above or 

 below the reel, without the fisherman having to shift his 

 hold on the rod (see Plate LX.). 



The checking influence on the rotatory action of the drum 

 cannot be exceeded, neither can the latter be brought up 

 with an abrupt and disconcerting jerk, and this regulated 

 control can be placed on or off the drum as it spins round, as 

 often as is required during the progress of the lure through 

 the air. 



No other spinning reel has the same number of advantages, 

 or can compare with it for the very great ease and comfort 

 with which it can be used. 



When the reel is in its normal fishing condition the 

 ratchet wheel, R (Diagram 26) engages the pawl. As 

 the cast is made a slight pressure of the finger on either 

 lever handle, E E, forces this pawl out of engagement, 

 and permits the free rotation of the drum. When required,
