It is, he says, too much like a self-aiming rifle and re-

ENTERPRISE ANTI-BACK LASH REEL 



There are at this writing only two makes of self- 

 thumbers on the market. The South Bend Anti Back 

 Lash has a wire bail or brake that is held up and off 

 by the outgoing line. As the line loses momentum 

 the bail gradually drops and applies the brake. When 

 the line stops the bail falls the brake is on. A thumb 

 screw regulates the tension of the brake so that the 

 reel can be adjusted for baits of different weight.
