Directions for baiting. — (i) With a baiting-needle or a disgorger push the 

 lead (a) down the bait's throat and into its belly ; (2) insert one of the hooks of 

 upper triangle (b) through the back, about a quarter of an inch behind back- 

 fin, leaving the tail triangle (d) to hang loose ; (3) adjust the movable lip- 

 hook (c) so as to crook the bait into the form shown in fig. 3 ; and, finally, 

 pass the lip-hook through both lips of the bait, upper lip first. If the distance 

 has been wrongly guessed — i.e. if the bait does not spin brilliantly — increase 

 or diminish the curve by shifting the lip-hook, which can be readily done 

 without taking it out by loosening the surrounding coils, pushing the gut 

 through the loops (upwards or downwards as the case may be), and again 

 tightening the coils.
