"The care and maintenance of rods and reels are extremely important, and fishermen should do this on a regular basis," says John Brett, ABU -Garcia Pro Staff adviser. "But they also should inventory their fishing tackle," Brett adds. "A lot of fishermen really don't know what they have scattered around the boat, garage or basement. Now's the time to,take a serious look." Once all t'he equipment is pulled together, it should be logged, photographed and itemized with a value. In case of fire or theft, the data will help with insurance claims. Further, a fisherman might be amazed at his total investment in `ishing tackle. An inventory serves other purposes as well. Fishermen will likely discover equipment they never use or that needs replacement. What do you do with tackle you no longer use? A good idea is to give it to a neighbowr child who has expressed an interest in fishing. If you have broken equipment that can be repaired, offer it to a youngster who might fix it himself with your guidance. Another suggestion is that fishing clubs or conservation groups organize a tackle flea market and donate the proceeds to a worthy charity group or a conservation project. - A tackle inventory sometimes triggers thoughts that occurred on the water the season before. For example, remember the time ypu were fishing with your spinning reel and wished you had a spare spool with lighter line? What about the squeeze bottle of reel oil you've been missing? And remember when you ran out of fly line dressing? Further investigation of the tackle box may reveal a low supply of accessories, such as snaps, swivels, split shot or split rings. And what about lures? Weren't there color patterns and style of lures that were effective the season before? Now's the time to stock up. Many stores mark down items in the off- season, so it's a good time to get a bargain. "The sooner the fisherman inventories his tackle and discovers his needs, the more time he has to resupply," Brett .suggests. "Instead of buying everything at once, he has time to spread .out those purchases, protecting the family budget and perhaps landing a bargain." +++ ABU -Garcia has reintroduced its popular Conolon rods in 1985 with a graphite version. Conolon graphite rods feature a totally balanced precision taper and High -Modulus Graphite for extra sensitivity plus greater strength. They' deliver a more uniform flex and smooth casting power from butt to tip. The rods, offered in three actions fo'r' casting and three for spinning, boast Hardloy guides that reduce line friction and grooving. The casting rods have the popular Fuji reel seat and handle with a diamond pistol grip for maximum strength and minimum weight; spinning rods offer cork grips. The graphite ferrules allow a one- piece feel on two-piece rods. • The lightweight casting rods come in a medium -light action in both five-foot, six- inch and six-foot lengths. The spinning rods are medium and medium -light action from five feet, six inches to seven feet long. For more information, write ABU -Garcia Canada Ltd., 31 Hamilton Road, Barrie, Ontario, IAM 5S7. Recommendations approved... • from page 14 afford it all," Linda Reid told committee members. "Seventy-five per cent of these expenses we shouldn't be encountering if we didn't have to come up with the additional office." Original plans . in 1984 included the recreation director's office in the renovated . town hall. That office is now used by the mayor and the bylaw enforcement officer. Councillor 'Jim Hunter suggested to rec committee members, "Perhaps we can move the recreation office from the basement 'next year. Don't spend too much money." Dan Colquhoun added, "We must go with the necessities." He added, "How can you putan office under the library to operate a building two -and -a -half blocks down the road (the arena)." Mr. Duguay said that if his office was at the arena, he'd "be pushing Butch Fleet facilities manager) out" of his office space. Councillor Gord,Gerrits reminded the rec committee, "We have an excellent program, we must promote this. We must trim our budgets and prove ourselves to the public." Rec committee members recommended that the town finance the office outfitting and agreed to assess further equipment needs in three months. Included in the office needs are shelving, desks and chairs, a reception counter, curtains and dehumidifer. The town will carry a major portion of the costs and the recreation committee will send in the neighborhood of $400 to purchase other office needs, including cork boards, typewriter rental and a filing cabinet. The recreation committee based the cost division on the equipment that the town would have provided for an established office.
