QUALITY TACKLE

7 Tie trade-mark, 
known for 
by all ^Anglers 
to discuss the various kinds of tackle 
that a tourist is sure to need, or may 
need if h£ intends to fish at all, according 
to the opportunities. 
An all-around fish rod is as impossible 
as an all-around firearm. But I have a 
heavy fly-rod that serves for casting for 
black bass with artificial flies or light 
spinners. With three or four different 
weight oiled silk lines, on an automatic 
reel, a takapart or tripart, or other 
double or quadruple reels, will enable 
one to go after the premier bass, trout, 
stream and lake fly and light spinner 
fishing. The heavy fly-rod will serve 
even for quill-bob or light-cork still fish¬ 
ing, too, and if one has several reels 
with different kinds of lines, they will 
work with the heavy fly rod and with a 
short casting rod, such as the James 
Heddon’s Sons two-piece rods. 
In fresh water fishing the steel rods 
such as the Bristol, are carried by a 
great many tourists. They stand a’ lot 
of the rough usage rods and guns get in 
automobile travel, and if there are sev¬ 
eral fishing members the party may well 
diversify its fishing tackle by including 
a combination steel rod—bait and fly of 
medium weight. 
Thus we have a heavy fly-rod, a bait 
and plug casting short length (say, five 
■ or six feet, two-piece), and a “medium 
utility” steel rod. YY ith these three rods, 
I think, most fresh water is covered. 
One should have, however, several extra 
reels, with casting, oiled, silk, twisted 
and braided linens—Osprey, Abbey & 
Imbrie, Horrocks-Ibbotson, Kingfisher,— 
from the light dry-fly casting to the 24- 
pound test, or higher, heavy casting, 
trolling, etc. 
Of artificial baits there is no limit in 
number or type. The moment one un¬ 
dertakes to make a selection of these, 
for “all-around fishing,” such as the 
tourist needs for only a few casts in a 
place, of an evening or for a day, the 
difficulty is immense. 
Last summer I spent a number of days 
with “Bob” Lincoln who is among the 
premier fishermen of the country and 
he gave me a list of some of his choices. 
For spinners he likes the Hildebrandt 
flies with light, slender, and long, single 
and double - feather or fly - spinners. 
Among the plugs is the familiar red¬ 
head, white-bodied, big-grub casting 
bait. And of the trolling spoons and 
spinners, the Lou Eppinger daredevils, 
in copper, nickel and colored enamels, 
and the Dowagiac game fish minnows. 
There are certain artificial flies which 
seem to have vogue in most trout and 
bass waters, such as grizzlie king, yel¬ 
low sallie, royal coachman, the palmers 
and hackles, black gnat, queen of the 
waters, cowdung, etc., which may well 
be included, two or three of each, for 
the fly fishing. 
I F the trip is going into salt water or 
brackish, whether in the bays, bayous 
or tide-water creeks or to the beaches, 
it is worth while to have a casting" salt 
water outfit, say, a greenhart, lancewood, 
or other three-piece and butt rod, a Mon¬ 
mouth reel, w r ith a hundred or hundred 
and fifty yards of 30-pound line and
