Good TacHJo Mean^ Succe^:^:. 
EVEN the generous size of the page in Forest and Stream does not give sufficient space to carry out the 
argument of good tackle as an essential to success; nor does it occur to us that a cold type argument is 
necessary to the angler who knows his business. Without good tackle we all know success to be next to 
impossible. The joys of fishing are best known where break-downs do not occur. Pursuant to this thought, we 
are mentioning in this advertisement different articles for the fisherman that we know will contribute to the success 
of all his outings in search of fish. Even this space does not enable us to mention very many articles in our 
tackle department, but what we do not mention here you will find in our big new catalogue. If you will send 
for it, you will find every need supplied there. 
GOOD TACKLE HEANS SUCCESS. 
RODSo We call special attention to our new hand-made bait casting rod, 
the " Hercules Hexagonal SpHt Bamboo," S/4. to 6 ft. long, weigh- 
ing t) to 7 oz. These rods, with one of the New "Gayle" Kentucky casting reels 
with drag and click, will weigh together about 10 oz. and make an outfit impos- 
sible to beat. These will be our leaders this season and are made in two 
qualities, $15.00 and $25.00 net each. 
The "Gayle" Kentucky reel specially adapted to these rods costs $15.00 
net each.
