THE ACME
METAL CENTRED LINES
are the Finest and Best yet made. They are the most Scientifically constructed Fly and Spinning Lines ever introduced to the Angling public. They are supplied on this condition of purchase: Cash refunded or duplicate line supplied if line be not deemed satisfactory after twelve months' wear.
Mr. Wm. Senior, (Angling) Editor of the Field, says: "My experience of the lines with wire centre is quite another thing, and it is confined to the 'Acme' of Messrs. D. & W. H. Foster, of Ashbourne.... I ordered a line that will do for light salmon or Pike Spinning (No. 1), and another for trout fishing (No. 0). This was two seasons ago. I have used both lines hard ever since, and they appear to be quite good for the chances of 1886. They are, in short, the best lines I ever had."—Contribution to a controversy re Lines, in the Fishing Gazette, March 27th, 1886.
