KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



39 



of stout cord is fastened and run 

 to the top back corner of the 

 drawer. This string is just long 

 enough to allow the drawer to 

 rest horizontally on the top of 

 the box without tipping or falling 

 off. The forward drawer has the 

 same arrangement except that the 

 two wires are fastened to the ends 

 of the box and act in addition as 

 runs between the two drawers. 



It will be observed that the par- 

 titions of the smaller compart- 

 ments, intended for hooks, sink- 

 ers, etc., are set in on a slant. 

 This is to keep the contents from 

 falling out while the drawer is 

 being lifted up. The two larger 

 compartments are intended for 

 reels and do not need to have the 

 partitions slanted. 



The shallow tray is made deep 

 enough to hold the thickest plug 

 or spoon hook. Along the top of 

 this tray is a row of hooks at- 

 tached to a rubber band, which is 

 tacked to the box between each 

 two hooks. About a half-inch 

 from the lower end of the drawer 

 and a quarter of an inch from 

 the bottom a small hardwood rod 

 is run from side to side. By 

 hooking the tail gang of a bait 

 over this rod and attaching the 

 swivel to one of the small hooks 

 fastened to the rubber band, the 

 bait is suspended perfectly, so that 

 it will not be thrown around, 

 scratched or tangled with the 

 other baits. 



A fold of the canvas cover, fast- 

 ened with a strap and buckle, 

 forms the lid of the box. Buckles 



are attached at each end for fast- 

 ening the shoulder strap. Two 

 snap hooks are placed lower down 

 for fastening a strap to go around 



the body and keep the box from 

 swinging while casting. If the box 

 is carried on the back of the hips, 

 the snap can readily be unfastened, 

 so that it may be swung around 

 to get at the contents. Two more 

 snaps can be put on the front of 

 the box to suspend a creel from. 



FOOLING THE SMALL 

 MOUTHS 



BY BASS FISHERMAN 

 While bass fishing in a small 

 stream in the Middle West, But- 

 ler County, Ohio, to be more ex- 

 plicit, I was bothered by having 

 the bass make exceptionally long 

 runs with the bait (was using 

 soft crawfish), with the resultant 

 trouble of having the line foul
