THE TROLLER S GUIDE. 



those four large hooks they have one of the size No. 

 7, tied to a piece of gut, the top of which is tied among 

 the four large ones. (See the Cut.) The small one is 

 to hook through the bait's back fin, as already de- 

 scribed, and the large hooks will hang loose, two on 

 each side of it. 



Spring Snap. 



If the Angler chooses to use a spring snap with 

 three hooks, fas represented in the Cut above,) in prefer- 

 ence to the plain, or, as some term them, the dead 

 snap, (terms synonymous, meaning a snap without a 

 spring,) which I by no means recommend, he has only 

 to follow the directions given on baiting the dead or 

 plain snap. — Note. The engraver has not drawn the 

 hooks high up enough ; for it is not proper the large 

 hooks should hang below the bait-fish's belly, but as 

 represented in the cut, fig. 3, page 185.
