NEW ARTIFICIAL NATURE LURES 



you reel. You can weight it to cast out to the bot- 

 tom of deep pools and reel slowly in ; or you can use 

 it as it is at the surface of a pool. No matter if the 

 game be bass or trout, pickerel or pike, wall-eye or 

 perch, big dace or chub, it is equally serviceable for 

 all. 



A few of the good points I claim for these min- 

 nows are : 



( 1 ) Fidelity in size, form, and color to a real, live 

 minnow. 



( 2 ) Hooks so placed as to hold fast, without scar- 

 ing away the fish. 



(3) Fish find a similarity in touch to the flesh of 

 a minnow. 



( 4 ) Light enough to be cast like a fly with trout- 

 rod and tackle. 



(5) Most desirable of all, fish will strike it in 

 plain view of the angler, as they do at a fly.
