ANGLING REQUISITES, FOR SEASON 1887. 99 



SPINNING AND OTHER BAITS FOR 



PIKE. 



The larger sized baits in the preceding range are adapted for pike, as 

 well as salmon, trout, perch, &c,, but the following are more particularly, 

 and specially pike baits. Colours that are found to be seductive in the 

 case of trout, are found to be of "no account" in the case of pike. 

 Vermillion for instance is not a killing colour on a trout bait, and is not 

 used except to pourtray the specks on the back of the fish named, and 

 these are not vivid in action. In the case of Jack the facts are reversed, 

 as the whole Esox Lucius family "go" for vermillion when judiciously 

 laid on, like a bull for a red rag, though with an intent widely different. 

 It goes without saying that a change of colour is good occasionally, but 

 we find that in our own experience, and in that of the vast majority of 

 our numerous clients, this change of colour is absolutely necessary 

 in clear water fishing to ensure a continuance of sport over the same 

 ground, or rather water.
