New York and Pennsylvania have pro- 
vided for future generations of their 
sportsmen by the creation of three mil- 
lions of acres of parks and forest re- 
serves. Aside from a few small forest 
reserves, totally inadequate, even as 
game refuges, Michigan sportsmen have 
absolutely no guarantee for the future.

TINKERING WITH YOUR 
TACKLE 
{Continued from page 461) 
the scoring run round and round or 
across the butt or grip — just the way a 
wet hand will slip? Now we have a 
new type — some bright angler has seen 
the light and of late we see butts made 
with the grips scored vertically, or in a 
line with the butt. A wet hand does not 
slip; a mighty good grip this new way 
of scoring permits, and in a surf rod a 
good grip is very essential. Did you 
ever cast the whole works into the surf, 
brother angler? I have — and I have 
seen others, but I won’t tell who — and 
they were pretty good at the game, too ! 
In fresh water rods, too, why stick 
to cork or cord or cane? I wonder why 
we don’t see more of the really beautiful 
and rare woods employed. I saw a few 
sample grasps in a downtown tackle 
store some days ago that excited my 
envy. One was of silk wood, a beautiful 
glossy wood with a wonderful silky sur- 
face and a wavy grain. Another was of 
black palm— the possibilities in this di- 
rection seem unlimited, but, because 
cork or cane or cord has always been 
used, cork and cane it will continue to 
be, I suppose. 
I read somewhere that it is good to 
have one’s ferrules all of one size where 
it is practical, and it seemed to me a 
good idea, so all my salt-water rods have 
been fitted with inch ferrules and reel 
seats. In this way they are all inter- 
changeable — I can fit any tip to any 
butt, so a surf tip may be used in a boat 
by using a short butt and zdce versa. 
The best fittings are of white metal or, 
german silver and the reel seats and fer- 
rules will cost around four dollars a rod 
or possibly more. I don’t think it ad- 
visable to pin on the ferrules — a high- 
grade rod rarely has a pin driven 
through it, besides pinning weakens the 
wood at that point and also makes it 
difficult to remove the ferrules should 
they need re-setting and cementing. 
The ordinary ferrule cements will hold 
fast enough. 
For winding, use silk thread, the finest 
that can be obtained. Use a couple of 
supports of some kind (Fig. 6), a couple 
of Y’s made of stiff wire mounted in 
weighted blocks will do nicely. It is a 
good plan to start from the smaller end 
and work towards the thicker end, and 
on putting on the guides to work from 
the pointed ends toward the agates. If 
one adopts this method the threads will 
keep together; reverse it and you will 
see what I mean, the threads will roll
