TROLLING TACKLE. 87 



Some shoe maker's Wax on a piece of Leather 



And some whig maker's Silk, for tying on hooks 



Some waxed Twine, or shoe maker's -wax ends, to repair 

 a broken rod (see how to mend a rod Chap. VI.) 



Some stout white Silk, Thread, or Cotton, and two or three 

 proper sized Needles to carry the s^ime, for sowing 

 up the mouth of baits, or to fasten the tail part to the 

 gimp, &c. 



A tin box to carry dead baits fo.r the gorge p.r snap 

 fishing, which box should be japanned. 



Note. In recommending the kettle used for carrying live- 

 baits (chap J.) to be japanned, I omitted saying the 

 inside should be japanned with white, because the 

 angler can then see very plainly the size of his baits, 

 and select which he may prefer, with little trouble 

 to himself, and also without much disturbing the said 

 live-bait fish. 



Also provide yourself with a basket, pannier, or a haver- 

 sack to carry the produce of your sport : the haver- 

 sack will be found the most portable.
