SUPPLEMENT TO THE BOOK OF THE BLACK BASS. 



Hook and Tackle Book. 



|(Wm. Mills & Son.) 



Tackle-Books. 

 There is nothing handier than a good tackle-book. I 

 have been shown one by Mills & Son which is made of 

 leather, in the bellows or accordeon style, so that, like an 

 omnibus, it is never full. It has half a dozen large pockets 

 for leaders or snelled hooks, extra lines, wrapping silk, etc.; 

 and each large pocket has a supplementary small one, which 

 can be utilized for short-looped flies, loose hooks, sinkers, 

 swivels, etc. Where looped leaders, double-looped snells 

 and short-looped flies, or eyed-hook flies are used, it is just 

 the article for holding them. It is firmly closed by a long 

 leather strap and flat loops.
