and often take great stress during ihiscison thrown in the rear of cars and trucks stuffed in lints and tralkrs and otherwise abused I With a liltk thread on the windings and a covering of tarnish your rod can took as good as new However the guides should bo checked for wear and sharp edges oral the other work may be for naught The greatest of the tors as far as repairs go arc the so called professionals those who fish all the time and claim to know everything Oflcn they are too t take II timi out for tackle maintenance until it is too Lite Of then they have to buy new equipment and thai

files in jour tackle will give you a on day to say nothing of a few extra fish on the sinner or on film Oh yes the lackk box itself Nothing turns a fish off faster than a lure smelling of fly dope or grease from a tHkh Imix that is never cleaned out Ren all material from the box wash in warm anddr uunkly with towels and then allow lo airdrj lobe sure metal boxes and replace cork or flit liners The
