Actually, braided lines were all we had. That was before monofilament
was invented.
Heck, that was before TV was invented. And Oldsmobile was just coming
out with it's Hydramatic Transmission - the first automatic
transmission.. Golly - we said the car was just plain shiftless. There
have been many advances in science and manufacturing in the past 78
years...............not all of them for the better.
Truth be told, I was referring to split cane rods. How can one expect
to catch fish on straight bamboo?
Quite readily.
The jobs for us kids were to dig the worm and then reach out the front
and back car windows to hold the cane poles on top of the car while dad
drove us to some farm pond. That's the only time we were allowed to
stick our arms out of the car windows, so we got a big kick out of it.
