Milam or franfort fishing reel. 



A combined multiplying and click reel used for either bait or fly 

 fishing,- and multiplies four times. " The friction of the parts is 

 so slight that a smart stroke of the handle causes it to make 

 about fifty revolutions. For bait fishing the reel is used clear, 

 with alarm and rubber both off, and, with a little practice, one 

 can drop his bait at any desired spot within 50 or 60 yards with 

 ease. For fly fishing the rubber or drag is put on, and if you 

 desire a click also, the alarm or click is used. These improve- 

 ments can be used separate or together • as desired. We 

 wish to call special attention to these important adjuncts, and 

 have their use fully understood, for with their aid you can 

 make a multiplying or click reel at pleasure, thus rendering 

 the ' Frankfort ' doubly valuable. They are operated by slid- 

 ing disks on side of reel, and do not in the least complicate its 

 working. Made in brass and German silver in six sizes, cost- 

 ing from $13 to $26 each."— (Milam.) Exhibited by B. C. Milam,
