the practice of their art should be constantly improved upon and brought to the most excellent 

 and handy make and fashion, is a matter of course. Rods, reels and lines, though admirable 

 enough to meet all requirements in days gone by, are undoubtedly both better made and 

 better suited to modern needs now, if the same amount of care is bestowed on their manu- 

 facture which was wont to be given to them formerly. That much inferior tackle is also 

 turned out, owing to the mania for cheapness, is undoubted. Manufacturers to meet this 

 desire set up all sorts of clever time-and labour-saving machinery, and turn out rods by the 

 score where they could only turn out units by hand. But the careful inspection and the 

 thorough test so requisite in the case of a really good article, cannot be and is not given ; 

 and though it is quite probable that by accident you may get a fairly good thing cheaply, it is 

 equally so that you may find your purchase dear at any price, If an angler desires tackle 

 which he can trust in, he should go to the best makers and pay the best price for it. Nets 

 and other apparatus for fishing for salmon and other fish in fresh water have been so improved 

 that the only fear is that they may become too perfect for the prosperity of the fisheries ; 

 while the improvements in waterproof clothing, boats, and all other fishing requisites can 

 better be seen than described. All countries have contributed to send us the best they can 

 produce in all these matters, and the choice we now have is truly vast and varied.
