FLIGHTS. 



The next flight I describe is the joint invention 

 of Mr. H. C. Pennell and Mr. A. N. Bromley, and 

 is known as " Farlow's Registered Flight ; rt it is 

 used by many practi- 

 cal pike fishermen, 

 and considered one 

 of the most simple 

 and perfect tackles 

 made. To bait the 

 flight pass the wire 

 loop under the gill- 

 cover and out of the 

 bait's mouth, then 

 put the single hook 

 through the back 

 (as shown in the illustra- 

 tion), pull gently on this 

 hook towards the head of 

 bait, and when the tail 

 assumes the curve it is to 

 retain, stick the double 

 barbed pin into the side 

 and right through the bait. 

 Then pass the wire loop 

 through the upper lip or 

 nose of the bait first and 

 the under lip second, and 

 again under itself at mouth, 

 thus forming a half knot, 

 which never slips. These 

 tackles are also made with 

 sliding lip-hooks, of which 



the " Faciles " invented by Emil Weeger and 

 made in four sizes are excellent ones, for they 

 can be slipped up or down without injuring the
