Review of Literature (not yet finished) Fishing is something that has been around and a part of people’s lives for thousands and thousands of years. Fishing started way back in ancient times as drawings have been found with figures fishing with a pole, string, and a hook as long ago as 2000 B.C. Today fishing is called sport fishing so others can distinguish it from commercial fishing.(Dr. Ben Sherman) There are many fish that are protected because they are considered game fish. If these kinds of fish are not handled right or kept according to the required size you may get into lots of trouble. Although there are many different ways to fish the most common way is with a rod and reel. Commercial fishermen fish with very large nets used to catch a lot more fish in a shorter amount of time. In ancient times people used sticks made of wood, strings made of silk or animal and vegetable material, and hooks made of stone, wood, or bone. (Dr. Ben Sherman) The tackle or equipment of today’s anglers is much better and much more advanced. Today’s fishing poles are made of graphite and fiber glass; these are much stronger then wood. Fishing poles are made in many different sizes made specifically for artificial bait, live bait, light baits, heavy baits, and many others.(Barkley, Mike) There are three different kinds of reels, there are spinning reels, bait casting reels, and fly fishing reels. Spinning reels are the easiest to use and most commonly used. Bait casters are much more difficult and are used by more experienced anglers. Bait casters have their advantages and disadvantages. Advantages are that bait casters have better accuracy and can cast much farther than the normal spinning reel. Disadvantages are that if you are unfamiliar with how to use a bait caster you can easily get a backlash also known as a birds nest. A backlash is just a very bad tangling of string in the spool that looks like the nest of a bird. The fly fishing reel is the most complicated and used by very experienced angler.
