The"Fish and Feel Fit" was a major theme throughout the South Bend Co. How fishing bonds people together, bring us closer to nature and experiencing and sharing our knowledge with others. The 30's brought the Great Depression. Fishing gave many hope, from feeding your family, to not staying up drinking all night. From the 1924 to the 1953 catalog, SB gives us excellent guides on each fish venue, instructions on each type of rod and reel to use, further it explains how to fish for different species of fish and what bait and tackle to use and where: "What Tackle and When". Over the years I have read all the articles and incorporated the info into how I fish today. I feel I am not just a better fisherman for it but also a better person and now always share with others, including "take a boy fishing" when I can. I have gathered and received a wealth of knowledge from South Bend Bait Co catalogs. I have several, well actually 28 SB fly and bait rod and I actually fish them. They may be considered 'blue collar" rod by some, but I love how a 70- to 100-year-old product that still performs.
