Do you know that the right combination of rod, reel, line, and lure can help you cast better ? Selecting the‘right combination of tackle baaed on your skill and fishing piaps promisee longer coats, greater ease, and more accuracy. When the tackle is right for the angler end the con ditions, its called “balanced tackle”. Casting champions, such as International Champion Johnny Diecltman, who count on accuracy or distance and sometimes both together to win a tournament, use six to ten different rods in & tournament depending on the events. For their fly tackle they provide a different reel and line for each rod depending on the purpose of the event. If you are planning to buy a rod for yourself, your wife, or one —. ’—i- .—l—, ' The lake fisherman making long casts with light line may be willing to chance a broken linS.- If he len’t, he may compro mise by giving up some distance and using a more limber lod, to cushion the shock of light One and avoid unnecessary breakage. If you fish swampy marsh land or tree-lined rapids where.; snags are a constant threat, you may well prefer heavier line to, avoid breakage. Os course, this Will shorten your Casts but long casts are less important 'than accurate casts and your, tackle is by necessity “balanced’’ to your need. " > The ideal outfit for the beginner and occassional angler is a spin-casting reel such as' the Garcia Abu-matte 140, 160, or 170, a fast taper, hollow fiber glass rod designed for *4 to %-ounce hues, and the line which comes pre-wound on the spool. For those who plan to fish often and in a variety of conditions, an open - faced reel offers more versatility but requires more practice to operate efficiently. You can pijoperly balance your rod and reel by experimentation. Try different weight lines and varied lures until you strike the combination that’s best for you, When you do you'll find • ir cuts easier, more accurate, and more productive. • rifle range whers the recruits J 1 ~.

A stiff rod is more difficult for the beginner to work effi ciently. It requires more co ordination and know-how. But it offers the good caster great *er distance with less effort.
