QUESTION. Can you tell me where I can get a 

 ' Whaling Good " rod, and can you recommend it 

 for bait casting? P. L. M. 



ANSWER. The Whaling rods are made by G. E. 

 Whaling & Son Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, and are 

 hand made under the direct supervision of Dad 

 Whaling who has been making rods for ages and 

 making good rods at that. Each rod is raised a 

 pet and has more care than you could imagine would 

 be given to a piece of wood in its travels through 

 the rod-making game. You can get a Whaling rod 

 for either bait-casting or fly-casting and it will be a 

 piece of tackle you'll never part with. 



QUESTION. Have you ever used the Foss pork 

 rind minnow and what is it good for? H. G. 



ANSWER. The Foss pork rind minnow is a new 

 bait that has made good with a wallop. It has a 

 single hook, upright, and you clamp in a piece of 

 pork rind, the spinner on front and the peculiar mo- 

 tion of the bait makes a mighty luring appearance 

 to a hungry bass, or in fact any old bass. It is good 

 for bass, pike, musky, pickerel, and with a couple of 

 split-shot sinkers makes a good lure for wall-eyes.
