       ANGLING MEANS FISHING WITH A ROD, reel, line, and lure.
       There are several different types of angling: freshwater
                                                               Keeper ring
       coarse angling, for members of the carp family and pike;
       freshwater game angling, for salmon and trout; and sea
       angling, for sea fish such as flatfish, bass, and mackerel.

       Anglers use a variety of methods for catching fish. These
       include bait fishing, in which bait (food to allure the fish)              Disk drag
       is placed on a hook and cast into the water; fly fishing, in
                                                                                           Drag washer
       which a natural or artificial fly is used to lure the fish;
       and spinning, in which a lure that looks like a small fish
       revolves as it is pulled through the water. The angler uses
       the rod, reel, and line to cast the lure over the water. The   Disk spring
       reel controls the line as it spills off the spool and as it is
                                                                    Gear
                        wound back. Weights may be fixed to
                                                                    retainer        Dual click
