Excerpt from Tropical Trolling: Two Tales of Trouble The books also say that all lines used for salt water fishing should be taken from the reel each night, thoroughly washed in fresh water, allowed to dry completely, and then be replaced. Has any one of these writers tried it and found out how much labor this operation requires, how the lines will snarl. And how much time, which should be devoted to fishing, one must expend on this soul-destroying occupa tion? Let him attempt what he so cheerfully recommends to others, and he will know more and talk less. Of course rich men can hire others to do the setting, washing, drying and replacing, though it will be done less well than the fisherman would do it himself, but my experience has shown the whole process to be unnecessary, provided honestly made lines are furnished for one's money.
