It was probably only reserved for the rich. Im guessing anyone living in the 30's (great depression) wouldnt spend their weeks pay on a fishing reel. I dont care how bad you've got the bug.

VS a weeks pay? Ive got to find a better job.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
