Excerpt from The Angler and the Loop-Rod<br/><br/>But the distinctive features of the book are the prominence which it gives to the art of fishing with what may be styled the loop-rod and line, and the pre-eminence which it claims for such over the ordinary appliances of jointed-rod and reel. Not that these latter should be entirely discarded indeed, in certain circumstances they alone are admissible  but my experience of both has gone to show that, for the most part, in ordinary trout fishing, the loop-rod and line are immeasurably superior in everything that makes for skilful and successful angling.
