Salt water fishing reels lecture from the past:

"The call of the surf"
by Peilner Van Campen and Frank Stick, 1920

THE REEL

This is the most important part of the equip-
ment. A man can tie a free-running reel upon a
length of bamboo, fit it with line guides and a tip,
and catch his share of fish. He will not cast as
far as his neighbour who swings a Seger rod, nor
will he get as much pleasure from his fishing, but
the outfit may answer for the time being.

The cost of the reel will vary anywhere between
eight dollars and eighty, but whatever the price, it
should be equipped with the free spool feature with
a lever throw off or release. Because of the corrod-
ing action of salt water, German silver and rubber
construction is preferable.
