THE TROLLER'S GUIDE. 



Now having described various and as many hooks, with 

 the best way to bait them for killing Jack and Pike, as I 

 think are worth notice, I shall next direct the reader how 

 to choose the trolling line, rod, winch, &c. also discourse 

 on the nature of bait fish for Jack and Pike fishing, point- 

 ing out the reason why a Gudgeon should be preferred 

 (generally) to a Roach, Dace, or Bleak, for trolling with 

 the gorge hook, or for Live-Bait Fishing; also when 

 Roach, Dace or Bleak, are useful baits, with full directi- 

 ons how to select the same, in respect to size, and to keep 

 them alive during a day's fishing, or to preserve those 

 which are dead fresh and sweet when going a distance 

 from home, either to troll with the gorge or Snap-Fishing; 

 for which purpose, a proper bait kettle and box are recom- 

 mended, with cuts of the same.
