HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1986-01-29, Page 15o • ( O Old friends I've enjoyed a very pleasant three days over the past weekend. An old friend was visiting Cada and managed to spend some time with us. I first met Tudor in Botswana back in 197a, We were on our first African Safari, and Tudor was our professional hunter. He went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and had a truly memorable experience. We've kept in touch ever since, and met briefly once in Toronto in 1982. It was fun having the opportunity to show someone from Africa around our area when it was 'wrapped in its winter cloak. A friend and some new acquaintances from Blyth took him out rabbit hunting, which he thoroughly enjoyed despite the unaccustomed cold weather. And, over the course of his visit we talked for hours. Mostly we talked about hunting and related subjects like guns, seasons, attitudes, game laws, etc., but one of the most interesting subjects turned out to be friendships. It always amazes me when I see the almost automatic kinship which springs up between hunters, no matter where they come from. That common interest lets hunters accept each other at face value and get right down to learning about and understanding each other. I've seen it happen time and time again, and it never ceases to amaze me. I really don't know why it happens. Perhaps hunters are closer to the basic nature of man, and are, therefore, more prepared to help one another to ensure survival. Maybe they appreciateomeone . who enjoys the outdoors as much-$ they do and feel closer to them. What der the answer, I'd be willing to bet that if there were more hunters, there would be tewer social problems in the world. + + + Not too many years ago, computers were regarded as impossibly complex pieces of equipment that were appropriate only in laboratory settings. Today, thousands of Canadian homes are equipped with computers and the technology has spilled over to marine electronics and even fishing reels. Computer jargon such as "chip", "input" and "LCD" is now common in fishing circles. Before the 1940s, most fishing line was made of linen. New nylon technology, however, was applied to fishing, and outdoor writers and anglers alike began referring routinely to fishing line as "nylon monofilament" or simply "mono". With the introduction of a new "cofilament" fishing line at the 1985 conference of the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturer's Association, the fishing lexicon was again altered. "The introduction of new Du Pont `Prime' cofilament fishing line is an exciting technological event that we regard as equal in importance to the development of nylon monofilament," says Neil Oldridge, worldwide manager of the Du Pont Fishing Line business. "It took years to learn how to extrude two different materials through the same die to produce a low -stretch, highly sensitive fishing line." Nylon monofilament fishing lines, such as Du Pont "Strep", consist of a single strand of nylon that is. produced by forcing molten polymer through a die, or orifice, of a precise size. After several production steps that build in various features, the line is ready for packaging and sale. Du Pont "Prime" cofilament is produced by forcing two molten materials, polyester and nylon, through a die simultaneously. The resulting product combines the low stretch features of a polyester core with a tough, yet pliable nylon sheath to provide anglers with a product that performs better than any monofilament. New "Prime" has 50 percent less stretch than monofilaments for faster, more powerful hooksets. The polyester core also provides a much greater degree of sensitivity, so anglers feel light strikes that are usually "lost" in the stretch of conventional monofilaments. The term `cofilament' has a very specific meaning and `Prime' cofilament is the only fishing line of its type in the world. Watch for it on store shelves for the upcoming fishing season.
