THE T ROLLER S GUIDE. 



about an inch long, then tie those four short pieces to 

 about nine inches of very stout gimp, and in the middle 

 of 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 baits back fin, as already described, 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, (as represented in the cut above) in preference 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.
