22 THE PENNELLTHE FRANCIS. 



A different description of spinning tackle, 

 but on the first principle of curving the tail, 

 is the "Pennell," a drawing of which, in minia- 

 ture, will be found at page 13, and which will 

 explain the style of tackle, also the manner of 

 putting on the bait. An improvement on this 

 is the " Francis," which I think is a decidedly 

 better plan of mounting, as the side-triangle 

 stands well out from the fish ; but I cannot help 

 thinking that a fly-triangle to reach to the edge 

 of the gills on the reverse side will be a great 

 addition. No. 6 will illustrate this. No. 7 is 

 similar to No. 3, and is much used in the mid- 

 land counties. The lip-hook goes through the 

 lips as usual ; the first triangle is fixed at the 

 shoulder ; the second triangle is hooked in just 

 behind the dorsal fin, so as to draw the bait up 

 and give a crook to the body, which is thus bent 

 in the middle instead of the tail being curved ; 

 the end triangle is allowed to fly loose. I have 

 used this tackle very successfully in lakes. 



No. 8 is a Trout spinning flight which will 

 be found described in Chapter XI.
