SHINY DEVILS 



shapely body. With the exception of a solid silver 

 body, this shiny devil is the same, or nearly so, as 

 the smaller sized feather minnow with white under 

 body. This shiny devil has proved exceptionally 

 good, better even than the feather minnow because 

 of the brilliant solid silver body. 



In No. 2 the entire head and body is wound with 

 silver twist and tinsel, the tail is a speckled guinea 

 fowl's feather, and the plume is of green harl 

 and wood duck tips. 



No. 3 has a solid gold upper and under body, the 

 tail is a deep orange breast feather of ruffed grouse 

 tipped in white. 



No. 4 has a solid silver body, with a tail of white 

 downy feather of the loon, and a very bushy plume 

 of mixed feathers. 



No. 5 is a smaller devil, with solid silver body and 

 green head. The plume is made of the wing feather 

 tip of the quail, and the tail is made of tail feathers 

 of ruffed grouse. 



No. 6 is the largest — a shining mass of gold from 

 head to tail, except the eye, which is green. The 

 plume is the beautiful chocolate and orange feather 

 of Egyptian quail, with a red cock's hackle for tail. 



Even a detailed description fails to give one-half 

 the beauty of color in these minnows. 



In testing some of these unusual and original 

 lures I have experienced some rare good sport with 

 three species of game fish, viz. : trout, bass, and wall-
