KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



brother's den now, knocking this 

 kink out on his typewriter. I'd 

 surely get mine if he were to slip 

 in now and catch me. But he's 

 out in the back yard trying out 

 his three new reels, and he won't 

 know anything about this until 

 he sees my fool name under the 

 blackface head "The Kink of 

 Kinks" at the head of the first 

 column of your announcement of 

 the winners for the month of 

 May, and when he sees that I have 

 grabbed the big prize, he won't be 

 very sore. 



about 2 feet from the reel. Screw 

 the bent eyelet in the end and 

 space the third eyelet in the mid- 

 dle as shown in the diagram. 

 Then I am ready for the fish. 



The screw eyes want to be of 

 small size wire so as not to 

 weaken the rod too much where 

 they are screwed in. 



Try this stunt once and you will 

 be surprised how slick it works. 



EXTEMPORIZING A CAST- 

 ING ROD 



BY ROGER WILLIAMS 

 I thought I would tell you of 

 the scheme of rigging up a cast- 

 ing rod which I use when going 

 to the river after working hours 

 and do not wish to be bothered 



IT GOT A BIG ONE 



BY A. D. WOOD 

 Last year on the Connesauga 

 River, North Georgia, I had an 

 experience that might possibly 

 take the candy in your contest. 

 If not, it may help some other 

 fellow to bring home "the big 

 one" some time. 



I was lucky enough to catch 

 plenty of beautiful Rainbows ten 

 to thirteen inches in length, but 



with taking tackle along. And 

 sometimes I use this rod when I 

 am fishing with bait and want 

 more than one rod. 



All that is necessary is a reel 

 and three screw eyes, light weight 

 with large eyes. The one for the 

 tip I bend up so that it will be in 

 line with the other two. I cut a 

 Straight stick most generally 

 willow about 7 feet long. Tie the 

 reel in place with a short piece 

 of cord. Put the first screw eye 



in several deep, clear pools there 

 were larger fish that I could not 

 induce to strike at anything. I 

 tried minnows without success. 

 One day a mountaineer came 

 down the stream fishing with 

 grasshoppers. He fished with the 

 hopper hooked through the body 

 and caught small fish the same as 

 I, but it gave me the idea just the 

 same. 



I got busy and caught about a 

 dozen big, fat "hoppers." Then
