To carry cartridges in a belt

 string through Jhe loops. If there 

 is still too much room, lace back 

 again so as to cross the strings. 



MOUNTING LEADERS 

 SIMPLY 



BY H. W. BUCK, JR. 



Some of us like to tie our own 

 leaders, but after they are com- 

 pleted they may be somewhat of 

 a problem if simply coiled and put 

 together in a pocket of the tackle 

 book. Even if kept separately, 

 sorted as to size and length, there 

 is always the trouble of pulling 

 out three or four when we want 

 only one. A very little trouble 

 when the leaders are tied enables 

 me to have them in perfect order 



slits as shown in Fig. 1. With 

 a sharp pen-knife a half-dozen of 

 the squares may be slit at one 

 time. 



With the pen-knife slightly lift 

 the tabs made by these slits. Now 

 coil the leader under the four 

 tabs. 



After the leader is in place take 

 a strip of the same bond paper 

 used in the card, having this strip 

 about the same width as the tabs 

 on the card and long enough to 

 reach from the back of one tab 

 to the back of the one on the other 

 corner of the card. With the 

 leader toward you press a tab 

 down through the opening enough 

 to let the strip of paper pass, thus 

 enclosing the leader under tab. 

 Push the strip through the open- 

 ing made at front of tab as in 

 Fig. 2. 



Now press tab opposite down 

 and run strip through from under 



and labeled. It is done by a sim- 

 ple method of carding. The de- 

 scription may sound very involved, 

 but the method is simplicity itself 

 and the cards may be used time 

 and again. 



Take very stiff bond paper and 

 cut it in squares of any required 

 size for a leader card; then cut 



side. This completes the fasten- 

 ing of the first strip of paper. Re- 

 peat this operation with another 

 strip of paper and the two remain- 

 ing tabs and the leader is securely 

 bound. 



A drop of paste where the slips 

 cross at the back will prevent 

 them from being displaced, and
