in a cut advertising it, in the back 
pages of an out of doors magazine. It 
was apparently a foot square and si* 
inches thick — must have weighed a ton. 
The idea seems to be for one to row 
out some distance from shore and lower 
the weight to the bottom; through a 
pulley, fixed in the top of the hunk of 
lead; the line runs to shore. There a 
post is driven, provided wiith a pulley- 
wheel and crank; with a line from 
crank-wheel down to lead and back. 
To work this contrivance, one appar- 
ently baits up the several hooks, at- 
near the block. Then I suppose one 
tached at intervals to the line, and 
cranks the hooks down to the bottom 
goes home and rests up and, when 
feeling fit, returns, cranks up the fish 
that may have, in the meantime, fast- 
ened themselves to the hooks. If some 
of the patent hooks, “from which no 
fish could escape” as the advertise- 
ment has it, were used the contrivance 
would be further improved. 
N OW to hark back to the surf (I 
never can stay away from it 
very long, that’s sure) and to 
surf sinkers, etc. The most primitive 
way to rig, though it catches just as 
many fish, is to use just a single swivel 
(20). Other swivels for the purpose 
are shown, the “three-way” (21), 
“Yankee” (22) swivel, etc. This Yan- 
kee swivel is a very ingenious little 
trick. Weight hangs straight down on 
the cast; when a fish is hooked, the 
arm to which the hook is attached re- 
volves 'about the center and takes its 
place below so that the pull is along a 
straight line at all times. 
Another three-way contrivance is 
what is called the “Catalina” swivel, 
and its chief point is that the line is 
attached in such a manner that it will 
not break at the knot. The illustration 
(23) shows how the strain on the line 
is gradually absorbed in the spiral. 
The line is wound into the groove and 
tied at the bottom as shown. 
The “Fish Finder” rig (24) is so well 
known that it needs little explanation; 
in its simplest form it is merely a small 
bone or metal ring attached to a bit of 
line to which the sinker is fastened. 
The line from thq rod is run through 
the ring and is attached to the hook. 
In order to keep the ring from running 
down over the hook the line is made 
fast to a piece of raw-hide (25). This 
method of attaching the hook to the 
line also keeps the knot from chafing 
Wy the sand. A more elaborate “finder” 
such as is usually found at the dealers, 
consists of an adamant, agate or pearl 
ring, swivel and connector (26). 
I make up all my rawhide loops with 
a swivel and snap attachment, so that 
leaders may be changed in a hurry or 
various sized hooks snapped on quick- 
ly — this snap and swivel saves lots of 
cut lines in re-rigging. 
Oh, yea, I was going to mention why 
I liked a certain sinker, the triangular 
one with the long post and ring (27). 
Well, it serves as a sinker and fish 
finder all in one. Run the line through 
the ring and there you are. The line 
may be run through the ring on the
