Excerpt from Fishing Kits and Equipment
It is the writer's purpose to treat systematically the subject of tackle and, in addition, to suggest what tackle to select for the brook trout, the black bass, and other sweet-water game fishes. The reader is duly warned that he will seek in vain herein for exciting tales of mortal combats with huge bass or trout for fish stories of any sort, either alleged or experienced. Neither are there picturesque descriptions of the moun tain trout stream or the forest-bordered bass lake. Also, learned discussion or academic theorizing anent the haunts and habits of fishes must be sought else where. We are here strictly concerned with the prac tical, unsung side of the subject - how to outfit for a trout, bass or other fishing trip; how to select a good fly or bait-casting rod; how the rods are made and how they should be used; the proper selection of reels.
