2ND. THE LIP WITH DOUBLE AND TREBLE 

 HOOKS. The double and treble hooks for this tackle, 

 are single hooks tied back to back on the gut, and each 

 set may have its hooks all of the same size. It is ap- 

 plicable to various sized minnows by proportionate 

 sized hooks and distances ; three of the smallest single 

 hooks, viz : two tied together back to back for the 

 bottom, and the other for the top, is the smallest min- 

 now tackle that can be made ; and if the lip and bottom 

 hooks are about three-quarters- of an inch apart from 

 bend to bend, it will take a minnow an inch and a 

 quarter in length from the nose to the setting on of the 

 tail. The lip hook put in under the chin through both 

 lips, and one of the bottom stuck in at the side, a 

 little below the back fin, so as to curve it to make it 

 spin. Sinkers, gut line, and swivel same as first. 



For a two-inch minnow, two double hooks and the 

 lip, a size larger, the middle hooks one inch from the 

 lip, and near three-quarters from the bottom. 



For a three inch minnow, two double hooks and the 

 lip, or the middle a triangle, about one inch and a half 

 from the lip, and near one inch from the bottom. 

 One of the middle hooks of the two latter sizes of 

 tackle to be stuck in at the back fin, and one of the 

 bottom towards the tail, so as to curve it to make it 

 spin. The sinkers, swivel, and gut line must be at- 

 tached thereon, or the sinkers of the two latter varied 

 by an oblong piece of lead of suitable length attached 

 to one end of a piece of gut, the other end whipped in
