twisted, according to the shyness, strength, or vigor of your 

 game. The most experienced basse anglers fish with only 

 one hook ; but where the game is small, many fish with two ; 

 this is done by attaching two leaders, one of one yard in 

 length, and the other of two, so that one hook will hang about 

 one yard from the other ; or use one leader of one or two yards 

 in length, doubling it at about one third the length, and passing it 

 through the sinker in the form of a loop, drawing it down as 

 before described. Your leaders being rigged, pass the looped 

 end of your hook through your leader and draw your hook 

 through. Put your bait on your hook, and you are rigged for 

 a bite. 



Should the foregoing be not found sufficiently explicit for 

 the tyro, he will find at the fishing tackle store these articles all 

 ready arranged, which will give him more practical ideas than 

 he can possibly get on paper, by which to arrange his tackle 

 as he chooses.
