To ardent fishermen, the next angling outing is always just around the corner even in the midst of winter. If Dad likes fishing, an outtiiard ir.slur rep- presents an ideal Christmas present. Just watch him begin planning his first early spring fishing trip. When shopping for an out board motor, several factors should be considered. McCul loch Corporation, the outboard motor manufacturer, offers tips to Mom and the children on how to make the proper choice. If you don't already know, a bit of sleuthing will turn up Dad's favorite lake and the type of fishing he prefers trolling, exploring the weedy areas, drift and still fishing or surface plugging. The outboard motors most fre quently used fo; fishing include those with horsepower ratings of 3'4, Vk, 9V4, and 14. The par ticular one for Dad depends on several factors. Many fishermen seek out weedy areas for the bigger fish. Weeds used to play havoc with standard outboard motors, but now special weedless versions are available, specially de signed to shear smoothly through such patches. An important point to con sider is. weight. .Dad will ap preciate an outboard motor which he can carry easily to and from his car and one which can be stowed compactly in the trunk with the rest of his gear.
