HOWSE SNAP. 67 



The dead-snap with four hooks is used in 

 the following manner : at one end of a piece of 

 stout gimp is securely tied a No. i hook ; an 

 inch further up the gimp tie another hook of 

 the same size ; loop the end of the gimp. 

 Now take a piece of the same gimp four inches 

 long, and tie two other hooks to it the same as 

 the first two ; loop the end of this also. To 

 use this, put the loop of the short gimp under 

 one gill of the dead-bait, and bring it out at 

 the mouth ; now do the same with the long 

 gimp at the other side of the bait, running that, 

 however, through the loop of the short gimp 

 also; now run a bead- lead down the long 

 gimp, and sew it in the mouth of the bait as 

 usual.
