Tournament casters add to the fat treatment a coating of powdered graphite which they polish until it shines like the proverbial " nigger's heel." This enables the caster to make long " shoots " but is " mussy " and makes the line unduly conspicuous in the water and is of no value in fishing. Sand is bad for an enameled line. The line should be dried after being used and all sand removed. A line should not be kept on the reel any longer than neces- sary. After a day's fishing I strip all line from the reel and leave reel and line on a chair and rewind it on just before leaving for the stream. Between trips and during the winter the line should be removed from the reel and either coiled in a large, loose hank and thrown in a drawer or stored on a large line dryer or grooved hoop made for storing a line. Treated thus, one's line will be free from kinks when he keeps his tryst with the fishes the following spring. |
