ABOUT FISHING TACKLE.
Never Lend 1t, Keep II in Good Repair
and Often Use 1t.

The most important thing to remem-
Der about the care of fishing tackle Is
never to lend it. A man who has many
visitors as his fishing track in the
course of a year keeps supply OF ex-
ira poles and tackle to lend to his
friends. His own pole. a thing OF
beauty. he reserves FOR himself, and u
his visitors happen to smash one of the
extra poles he only smiles.
Fishing tackle should be cared for in
the fall before it is put away. but this
is not often done. In most cases the
tackle is stored away On high shelf
some place, where the heat and dry air
cause the pole to crack and the ferrules
to come loose. The fish Lole should be
vanished with a special Varnish that
will allow great elasticity in the pole.
and at the same time fetp it water
proof. The best poles are made Of split
bamboo. but good ones are made from
lance wood and calcutta bamboo. while
for sea fishing greenneart il the great
est favOrite. The reel should have been
stored in a box or leather case and kept
dry. Clock oil is the best for cleaning
the roe! and keeping it ir good condi-
iOn. IL the ferrule comes loose remove
the pin that holds it to the pOle-if
there is pin-and apply fcrrule cement
to the end of the pole, holding both over
4 lamp. Then place the pole. i'm the
farrule, and put back the pin. Small
ferrules do not need pin. The ferrule
should be heated over the lamp and
great care should be taken that the
wood inside is not charrcd.
In choosing a line it is q good thing
t." remember that oiled silk or enamel
lines are not affected by being rolled
back on the reel while still damp. En-
amelad silk will get sticky if exposed to
TIE heat. and salt water will make it
sticky. A twisted line is the best line
for salt water fishing: j. is stronger
than the braided line, which is more apt
to wear itself out. For fiy-casting The
oil silk or enamel silk linz is the best,
the enamel line running cut especially
easy. The only difficulty with the en-
amel line comes when thu Oil in the silk
is not given time enough to dry before
The enamel is applied. Sooner or later
the oil works its way through the en-
amel and the line gums and sticks to-
gether. Rubbing the enamel with para
fin remedies the difficulty for a time
Some experts declare that drying tho
line before It is put back on the reel
does not make it last any longer. or ut
The best they say the difference is not
great enough to trouble about.
Nobody can repair split bamboo poles
hut experts. If the pole has been
stored away in a dry place and the
strips become lOosennti temporary
break in the pole may be repaired by
winding it with the best quality of silk

The usual fly hook is an invitation to
moths. When the season is over the
flies should have been placed in clean
boxes with tar paper on the bottom AMI
