Excerpt from Spinning-Tackle: What It Is, and What It Ought to Be, An Entirely New Method of Spinning for Pike It must not be supposed from this remark that I am an advocate for cheap, and therefore inferior, tackle. There are few things in which extreme cheapness is worse economy. Gut, for example, which, if carefully chosen, and a fair price paid for it, will frequently last for years, if selected on the pennywise principle, will seldom hold out as many weeks. Instead of a round, durable, and transparent strand, you get a substance opaque, stringy, and uneven, with a constant tendency to peel and crack. This point is still more important in hooks and swivels, which may be so well imitated that their defects cannot be detected, except by the test of actual wear and tear, and probably the loss of good fish.
