FISHING LINES
By DICK WOLFF
How efficient is your casting? 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. •

of kiddies keep these
points in mind.
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.
However, don’t be sold on dis
tance alone. While it is often
the main reason for a choice
of tackle catching fish is
still the prime reason for buy
ing tackle.
