Show u u , Hundred Per Center If; V f Catching two sailfish on two strikes is about the same as a major ballplayer slamming two home runs in two trips to the plate, however, how-ever, John Heddon (above) recently recent-ly turned the trick at Acapulco, Mexico, on a sporty "69" "Pal" rod. In anglers' parliance, this means a 6 ounce tip, 5 feet in length, together to-gether with a 27 pound test line and since these sailfish weighed in the neighborhood of 125 pounds each, skill played a major part in their capture. John comes by his angling prowess prow-ess quite naturally as he is the third generation of a famous fishing fish-ing family and president of James Heddon's Sons, Dowagiac, Michigan. Michi-gan. His grandfather, James Heddon, founded the company by whittling out America's first topwatcr casting bait in his kitchen more than a half century ago. AAA |
