FISHING TIPS AND TACKLE by TONY RERRIE Outfitting the Young Angler More than a month ago I promised an article on buying equipment for the young fisherman. Well, I didn't get around to it back then, what with Christ- mas shopping and all, but I haven't forgotten about it because I know it's a topic that interests a lot of parents. The reason for this interest, of course, is that introducing a youngster to the wonders of nature is one of the true joys of parenthood. And fishing is one of the best ways to make the introduction. After all, it's an activity you can engage in during most seasons of the year. It's something that will bring your youngster into contact with a variety of wildlife habitat, from bass-haunted marshes to forest streams. And it gives you a chance to spend some relaxed time together in an enjoyable pursuit. However, it's never wise simply to assume that a youngster is going to enjoy fishing. It's better to take a few simple precautions to introduce him (or her for that matter) to the sport in the proper . way. Otherwise you run the risk of putting them off right at the start. One of the first things you should pay attention to is the kind of equip- ment you buy for them. Don't simply give your child a few bucks and tell him to buy something, because for a few bucks all he will be able to purchase is a piece of junk, And buying junk is a bad idea for a number of reasons. The first reason is that it will probably never work very well. That will make it pretty frustrating for the youngster who spends most of his time unravelling backlashes rather than fishing. Another consideration is that a young person will probably feel a bit self concious about not being able to handle the equipment as well as the grown-ups. Don't make matters worse by saddling him with tackle that couldn't propel a lure more than 20 feet even if King Kong were doing the casting. The second reason for avoiding junk is that it will probably break. Little hands can cause big trouble for plastic gears and cheaply made rods. And since you get no warranty with the ultra-cheap gear, if it does break you will end up throwing your money away. The third reason is that your child will have no pride in owning junk tackle and will therefore have very little incentive to maintain it properly. Most parents try to teack their children responsibility, and an important part of that is learning to take care of belongings. How can you take care of something that wasn't de- signed for maintenance because the manufacturer didn't expect it to last very long? The fourth and final reason is that buying equipment of respectable quality will save you money in the long run. It can cost as little as $30 to outfit a youngster with a rod and reel (complete with quality line) that will work properly, that will come with a manufacturers warranty, and that your child can carry down to the dock with a feeling of pride. Where else in this inflationary world can you get that kind of performance and satisfaction for 30 bucks? Once you've made the decision to buy equipment of respectable quality, the next question is what type to buy. As a. general rule, if your child is less than 10 years of age you should choose a spin-casting (closed face) reel. The greatest attribute of this kind .of reel is its ease of operation. Simply push the button on the back of the reel at the point of casting and you're in business. But if your child's hands are big enough to handle the bail and hold the line of an open-faced spinning reel, that's the kind you should go for. These reels, for one thing, have much more line capacity than the spincasters. They also have a more simple design, so there's less chance of malfunction. And because line is subject to less friction as it plays out of an open-faced reel, even a young angler can make adult-sized casts. As for the rest of the gear, lightweight is the key word. Line should not exceed the eight to 10-lb. test range, so the youngster will get some sense of excite- ment even if it's a panfish on the other end. And remember that even though you may favor a seven-foot rod, it will be a bit unwieldy in the hands of a person half your size. Buy quality, keep the size of your youngster in mind as you're choosing equipment, and your child will be off to a good start in his or fishing career. Next week I'll be talking about teaching your child to cast, safety precautions and suggestions on fishing trips to introduce your youngster to the pleasure of the sport of angling. Until then, good luck and good fishing. Mark that calendar - Feb. 14, 15, 16 "and 17 will see the first show designed specifically for the fisherman come to Toronto. Manufacturers reps will demon- strate their 1980 lines of lures rods, reels, boats, motors and electronic gear, among other tiems. The location is 4659 Kingston Road (just east of Morningside Drive) and the admission is free. Hope to see you there. (Tony Rerrie is the owner of one of Canada's foremost bait and tackle stores). J
