TACKLE (Continued) : Page 61

When going on a fishing trip far from home it is advisable to carry one of the repair kits sold by the tackle dealer. I hope you will never have to use it but you will feel better if you have one along.

Cases

A rod case is a good investment. Rods carried on forms in a light canvas bag are likely to get smashed. The cases of sole leather are best but expensive. The stiffened, leather covered cases are sold at a low price and do nicely. A cloth roll of many partitions — one piece of a rod to a pocket — to go into the case economizes on space and enables one to carry a number of rods or several rods and a landing net frame and handle.
