PORK RIND FOR BAIT 121 



HOW TO CUT PORK RIND BAIT 



There are many different ways to prepare the 

 pork rind as to size and style of cutting. Take a 

 strip three to three and one-half inches long, three- 

 fourths of an inch wide and an eighth of an inch 

 thick. Taper it from the full width down to a 

 point in a V-shape. This makes a very good pork 

 rind bait to use either in casting or trolling. Leave 

 the rind on the top of the pork strip for a distance 

 of about two inches from the thick end of the taper, 

 cutting it off of the balance of the strip, as this gives 

 it strength and does not interfere with its wiggling 

 in the water. To add to its attractiveness as a bass 

 lure, tie a piece of red yarn through the head and 

 knot it into a couple of small bows at each side. A 

 bright piece of red cloth tied around the head is also 

 good. 



IMITATE FROGS AND MINNOWS 



Take two of these strips and tie them together 

 at the head and let the ends loose and you have a

 minnow.
