Care of the Reel.
The life Of any reel will be mighty
snort II It IS not given care and at
t"ntiol. The finest machine in the
world Will not run without oil, yet
many fellows Will use reel week aft
or week, and not think Of feeding it
a little soothing strip until it begins

When this stage is reached they will
drop little oil in the cups, but the
damage is done through overheated
bearings and piniOnS, and the reel will
never again rGn with freedom of fric-
ton and as smoothly as before the
rough grind handed il.
The reel should be cleaned and oiled
after each days fishing, The ordinary
thin oil Is not sufficient. as no thin oil
will last through the different tempera-
lures to which a reel is subjected |
during days casting. Heated by the |
hot sun or chilled by the night air,
as well as crenched with water dur

would eliminate any thin oil. While |
the thick oils soon churn into a creamy
paste and hamper and clog the reel |

speed at the game when your casts slow
