REELS : Page 75


reel " the invention of a fool." The principal objections to the multiplier, from the viewpoint of the ordinary angler, are the liability of the line catching on the prominent, balanced handle and its low, wide construction requiring the line to be guided on the spool to prevent it piling up and jamming against the pillars. From my own experience in fly fishing with a multiplier I would not recommend a beginner to buy one for the purpose, especially as he can secure a suitable click reel for a few dollars, but the bait caster who already owns one would be justified in using it for once-in-a-while fly fishing, if he is economically inclined.
