I do! I do! It's one of those fishing lines with lots of other little fishing lines attached, right?

I know what a quiver is, too, but I've never heard of a Deliar, a Fenwick (bamboo or otherwise), a Damascus barrel, or a bumper jack. Is that a jack which goes under the car's bumper instead of under the body like they do now? Linotypes and Moon Mullins fall into the category of "things I know exist, but of which I have no personal experience."
