In this should be a small clearing-ring \ z flat-reel-, a 

 small coffin-lead ; a few split-shot, swivels, and t/uill- 

 loops, also some rings and splents, all in a folding vellum. 

 A few hooks sorted, a card with several colours of fine 

 but strong sewing silk wound on it, a little colter s-wax 

 in a piece of shoe-leather, a pair of neat scissors, very 

 short in the points, and a disgorger. 



Your trolling and dipping tackle ought to be in folded 

 vellum, and may lay between two or three strong pleats 

 of tanned leather, which should form a kind of inner 

 pocket-book with a flap and strap ; this should be fasten- 

 ed into the middle of the back, and lay between the two 

 stiff cases. 



Your spare gut, and your mounted foot-lengths of 

 various descriptions, with and without shot, should be 

 also in parcels of thin vellum, duly superscribed -, so that 

 you may know the contents of each without opening. 



Of course your trolling and d'ipping tackles will in- 

 clude all that relates to live and to dead baits, such as 

 ^^J:aiting-needles, swing-needles stuck on a flannel flap, 

 spare gimp, some leads, swivels, and every thing of that 

 class. 



As to a jack-float, such as is used for live-bait, you 

 must let that accompany your rod-spud, lutt-hook, land- 

 ing-net, '&c. &c. in your pocket, they not suiting the 

 inside of the book. 



This pocket-look will exteriorly bear some resemblance 

 to a small cartouch box : for it ought to have a substantial 

 flap, which should fasten by means of a leather thong, 

 secured at its middle to the centre of the flap 5 so as to 

 present two points, going different ways 5 each point to 

 be equal to about a. circumference and a half of the closed 



book.
