HOOKS. 67 



the hooks came apart. The best I can discover 

 are " sneck-bcnd Trebles." Treble hooks with 

 eyes also often prove very useful to pike-anglers, 

 and both kinds are made in various sizes. (See 

 illustrations.) 



Some triangles are bronzed, others are tempered 

 a blue tint ; but those that are the natural colour 

 of the wire they are made of are the best (in my 

 opinion), as they assimilate more nearly to the 

 colour of the spinning-bait, whether it be a dace or 

 gudgeon.
