Did you eat the reels as well? Chuckle! That's the spell checker for you - it gets confused between nutricious and notorious! Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C. Canada

The line speeds up enough to form a loop that wraps on the tip of the rod and "snap" the tip off. In the bamboo and early glass days, it was something that happened a lot when retrieving the line at the end of the fishing day, it would be retrieved fast without thinking . You had to just "tap" the lever when retrieving the line so that it would come in slow. These reels were nutritious for jambing up if any dirt got onto them. If they did, the line could not be wrapped on the spool. When taking them apart to clean them, the retrieve spring would come out and "bite" you if you were not careful.. I have taken several apart and getting the spring back was a chore. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
