KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



Then lay them as in Fig. 1, and 

 tie a common knot in each and

then pull them together tight and 

 cut off the ends (a) close to the 

 knot. 



I now have a gut leader with a 

 loop in each end and about 12 or 

 14 inches long. Two of them 

 may be looped together, making 

 once twice as long and so on till 

 I have a leader of the desired 

 length. 



By using my old leaders this 

 way I always have a good leader, 

 free 'of all cost and also the satis- 

 faction of making them myself. 



A GOOD SPINNER RIG 



BY CHAS. O. REED 

 I am enclosing a pen descrip- 

 tion of a three-hook pork-rind 

 spinner bait. I have made several 

 of these, for bass, muskie and

 hole in each end for split rings. 

 Round both ends with a file and 

 then curve same, as illustrated. 

 This can be accomplished in the

 last three months taken over one 



long shanked eyed hook (not too 

 springy). Then wind on a small 

 lip hook close to eye of the large 

 one with both barbs in line (as
