BELANGER IS SPIN fishing, gradually but steadily, becoming Hie predomin- a i method ol. fishing today? That's a good question Inasrnuch as the a i of spin i i has lorged rapidly to the in the comparatively few years since it was Introduced in this country. For the past coifple of years and, particularly this year, we have taken note of the ol fishing equipment used by the average angler. We have found a Ihe vast intijority of anglers use spinning equipmenl lo fish i We may be i our neck oul in making Ihis slale- but our observation would indicate a practically 63 to 70 cent of Iroul anglers today use some of spin i i equipment in Ihc-ir a i endeavors. THE POPULARITY of spinning isn't hard to understand, 11 is perhaps the easiest way of fishing, allowing an angler to cover a considerable a of ler, hardly moving out of his tracks.

For older anglers who have found wading of a stream and casting a fly has become too strenuous, spin i i has again made it possible once a a i to fish favorite streams a had become too rugged for them to fish with ordinary tackle. WHEN Bache Brown of Springfield first introduced spinning in i country, little thought was given to the possibility that this type ol fishing would become so popular. At thai time, back In IS4G. the popular method of i ing lor trout was i files. Owning ft good ily rod, a a i lly line and a a i reel, a good assortment of Jlies, was Ihe a i i of every trout angler.

The i a for fly i i was so great at a lime a scores of anglers took up Ihe hobby of tying i own a tions. Today trend Is i toward i i There are i many who do all of i I i i with flies, bul the percentage Is rapidly dropping anil spinning Is a i over. Reel a a formerly a a i but reels suitable for fly and a i casting, are now i oul some version of spinning reels, SPINNING HAS ALSO made heavy inroads In halt-casting technique. Where formerly nolhing bul a special type of ball-casting reel wilh revolving spools was used In the casting of plugs and spoons, the average angler who prefers pond and lake fishing for such species of game Xish as bass and pickerel is also i 10 the use of i i reels. Tlie reason for this is i obvious.

The old-time casting reel, unless expertly handled al all limes, oftentimes would cause the line to snarl around the spool. When this occurred, It required patient work to unravel the snarled line, resulting In loss of fishing lime. In the case of spinning reels, because of their spool which allows (he line to strip off In a i 1 flow, there Is tittle or no poss i i i of i snarling, Plug casting can tie done even al night i no difficulty. And even though i statement a be fisputcd, longer casts can be made i spinning reels I a wilh the old-type casting reel. This Is possible because of Ihe i lest Una lhal can be used on spinning reels.

The slipping spool of this type reel permits use of such lighter test lines. I I RODS made especially for tills sort of i i run a feet In length. Incorporated in (he i of Ihcse rods is an action a corresponds somewhat lo the aclion of fly rods and also possesses the casting power of a i a i rods. They are i In weight and a exceptionally well. There's no queslion what spin i i is Ihe in fishing today, there's one i thai it i never replace.

And a is Ihe i a can only be had in Ily lishing--particularly dry. fly fishing. Not to have sampled i type of i i at some i or other i one's fishing career is to have missed the real i a in ths sporl of trout fishing.
