No one but a weight lifter or a masochist can pretend to enjoy wrestling with a heavy reel that spans 6 in. across and weighs 101 lbs.-assuming they can afford the cost (up to $800 for the biggest Fin-Nor model). Yet a six-year-old youngster or a 60-year-old grandmother can play all day with a little 2½/Oreel and a rod as supple as a willow wand. Last February Mrs. Evelyn M.

On the wildly illogical assumption that he does swallow the bait, the battle is generally lost then and there; the only soft part of a swordfish, naturally, is his mouth. More often he is foul-hooked-in the dorsal fin, back or cheek-as he rolls around, batting the bait. But a foul hookup does nothing to impair his fighting ability...
