Angler May Accumulate.

have from 20 to 30 fishing rods
There arc many men that own as
many as 40, Tor fresh water fishing
only, which is here alone consider
ed. At the outset OF his fishing
career a man accumulates rods
with experience, Here is what
might happen in the case of be-
ginnor, to whom the cost of rods
was not matter of importande'
He would start, say, with black
bass, and buy split bamboo rod
weighing seven ounces and 10 feet
in longth. Out fishing he would
meet u man using six ounce rod,
which seemed to answer the pur-
pose just as well, and very soon he
buys a six ounce rod himself. After
awhile he buys Il bass minnow cast
ing rod, with light tackle, q rod
Weighing four OF five ounces and
measuring Z feet i'll length. Ho
looks forward to the day when he
can attach Il live minnow 10 his
hool. and cast it 100 OF 125 feet and
not kill the minuow in the cast.
Before lie has reached this degree
of proficiency, however, he is likely
to begin on trout l.y rods. And Of
these, before very long, he will ac-
cumulato eight or ten, ranging in
weight from three to eight ounces
He will have rods for different
kinds Of fishing, for fishing from
the bank and for fishing while wad-
ing, and rods adapted to the charao.
ter of the waters fshed, as to width
of stream and strength of current,
and so on, and rods adapted to spo-
cial regions and the fishes found in
them. Then the angler begins buy
ing salmon rods lie is likely to buy
first rod u feet in length and
weighing SO TO 80 ounces, lie finds
that too heavy and buys a rod 15A
feet long and weighing 81 ounces.
Later still he buys salmon rod 14R
