Clinton News-Record, 1983-11-09, Page 13Naturally S ;taking . y Steve Cooke Fishing gear tips It may seem like a funny time to be talk- ing about fishing gear, but actually I have three good reasons for doing so. Firstly, baitcasting reels are making a big com- eback, and they're nothing like the ones grandpa used to use. They have so many refinements nowadays, almost anyone can become a proficient bajtcaster in about the same time it takes to master a spinning reel. So, since it's new, it would make a great Christmas gift and the Shimano Magnumlite described here would be a good place to start looking. The second reason for fishing gear is that the deer season is open, and instead of doing this column, I should be planning my strategies and techniques for tomorrow. The third reason? Easy! The Shimano catalogue just arrived in the mail yester- day, so I decided to share some of it with you. When you look at Magnumlite, you are looking at the most advanced casting reel ever designed. Period. No other reel even comes close. From its racy profile to it's yard -long list of features, the Magnumlite 2000 GT is THE reel the fishing world will be talking about, buying, and fishing in 1984. Weighing an amazingly light 6.5 ounces, the 2000 GT is the only magnetic casting reel in the world with the combination of space-age titanium components, graphite V -spool con- verter, Shimano Super Gears, fish saver system, extra high-speed retrieve and QuickFire free spool. Bantam Magnumlite 2000 GT ... you'll be hearing a lot about it this year! A quick scan of the specifications and review of the long list of features will con- vince any skeptic that the Bantam Magnumlite 2000 GT is the ultimate bass reel, and the world's lightest QuickFire casting reel. 1. - Titanium/Graphite Components .. Titanium is light and strong, dissipates heat exceptionally well, offers outstanding abra- sion resistance and extremely high durabili- ty. It's ideal for use in high stress areas like spool shafts and drag systems. And only Shimano offers titanium/graphite in its reels! 2. - Graphite V -Spool Converter ... A Shimano exclusive ... like getting two reels for the price of one. The graphite converter snaps around the arbor of the standard high capacity spool and actually transforms it in- to a V -Spool. 'This unique feature gives the angler the ability to snap on a V -Spool for greater cast control and more realistic line capacity for bass fishing, yet easily switch to the high capacity spool for bigger gamefish like stripers, steelhead and salt water species. The converter is lightweight graphite and, because it significantly reduces line capacity, you'll be fishing with a lighter, easier to handle reel that offers the spool control advantage of a V -Spool design. 3. - Super Gears ... The gears in the 2000 GT are up to 30 percent stronger than gears in other comparably sized bass casting reels. That added strength translates into more fish fighting power, less chance of gear fatigue and smooth, precise perfor- mance. 4. - Extra High Speed 5:1 ... The combina- tion of Shimano Super Gears and a dynamic 5:1 gear ratio means lightning fast retrieve with plenty of fish -fighting power. 5. - Magnetic Spool Control ... A full range, scientifically calibrated, magnetic spool control system gives anglers the opportuni- ty for backlash -free fishing with a simple turn of the dial. By simply dialing the magnetic spool control, you instantly con- trol acceleration for top performance under any casting condition. The heart of this ad- vanced system is a series of rare earth cobalt alloy magnets set in precise align- ment. 6. - QuickFire Free Spool ... Shimano's unique Quickfire spool release boasts a low profile design that is positively ingenious. It's positioned conveniently out of the way yet, when you use it, the thumb of your casting hand ends up with proper pressure on the line and in proper position on the spool to make the cast. You don't need your other hand to depress the button or make a cast. At last, one handed baitcasting is a reality thanks to the Quickfire Free Spool! 7. - Fish Saver Switch ... The fish saver (or direct drive) switch allows the spool and handle to back up allowing the angler to pay line out without having to depress the spool release. It's an ideal feature for dropping line back to a soft striking gamefish, feeding line out while live bait ;fishing or playing a thrashing fish to the net. 8. - Precision Centered Spool ... Unique three-point spool support keeps the spool in perfect alignment. Special knob regulates cast control pressure. 9. - Graphite Thumbrest ... Comfort and control on the retrieve are important and 2000 GT offers a special graphite contoured thumbrest that really gives you a solid grip for added power to fight big fish, plus easy lure handling all day long! 10. - Stainless Steel Ball Bearings SPECIFICATIONS: Weight - 6.5 oz. . Gear Ratio - 5:1 Line Test/Yardage 1. High Capacity Spool - 8/240, 12/160, 14/150 , 2. V -Spool - 8/140,10/105,12/85,14/75.

Clinton figure skating news The Clinton Figure Skating Club's first Halloween skating party was a great suc- cess with many spooks and goblins at- tending. The ladies who headed the committees did a wonderful job in helping to organize the evening for the children, not to mention the parents who helped out and also Bonnie Jewitt's Grade 8 students, as well as many of the figure skaters themselves. The fortune teller who was brought in, all the way from Stanley Township, was a very busy lady and was greatly appreciated. The Skating Club feel that there was good community effort and support. All skaters with cheese forms, don't forget that they must be collected and brought in this weekend. So go out and use your salesmanship. How! Latex paint over oil with no more sanding or scraping!

The Junior girls also played with much deterjnination during their game against Goderich but just couldn't come up with enough points to defeat therm. TheVgirls to 'dldIs't" qualifjf °' for Huron -Perth playoffs. On Oct. 26, the Senior Boys' volleyball team, playing their best volleyball of the season, defeated the first place team, St. Marys, 15-13 in the first game and lost the second game, 19-17. However, over the day's play, its record remained at one win and five losses. They also didn't qualify for fur- ther play. In the tournament held on Oct. 26, the Junior Redmen defeated Mitchell, split with St. Marys and lost to Listowel.
