Another new feature of late years is a device for level winding of the line, when reeling it, in order to pre- vent its bunching on the spool. For those anglers who seem incapable of guiding the line on the spool with the finger or thumb, this device is, indeed, a welcome one. The first reel with this device was made by Wheeler & McGregor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
