"The joy of owning fine tackle is so great that it is often difficult to distinguish between basic needs and the urge to possess that which delights the sensitivities.  I have preached against indulgence, but in truth I am a sentimental moron when it comes to fishing tackle.  How can one find adequate words to describe the sweet feel of a rod that makes casting an esthetic delight, yet which adds little to one's ability to catch fish?"


"The Philosophical Fisherman"
Harold Blaisdell (1969)
