68 DAYS AMONG THE PIKE AND PERCH 



band of expanding india-rubber, so that it can be taken 

 out and replaced at leisure, is the very best thing to keep 

 them in. Anyhow, I know I should have been extremely 

 thankful for a tip of that kind in my old spinning days, for 

 I generally found it to be the case that when I did not want 

 any small baits I could get plenty ; but when I did want 

 them, why, they were not forthcoming.
