Here Are Six Great Killers 
And Twenty-four Interchangeable Combinations! 
Realizing tlie great and well known Ash-getting qualities of spinners, the Pfluegers have here 
devised a set of spinner baits, with interchangeable parts readily attachable, to enable the angler 
to meet any and all conditions of water, time of day, season of year and other causes, with a 
bait that will attract game fish under the special conditions existing at the moment. This year 
don't start away on that long anticipated trip without having in your tackle box at least one set of 
“Pflueger-Lewis” Interchangeable Spinner 
Each set contains:—Two rust-proof piano wire shafts, each with a “Jack" to 
which the blade is secured; one hollow point double hook, ringed size 1/0; one 
hollow roint C; lifornia bass hook, ringed size 4/0, with a copper baiting wire 
attached; one Wyoga bass fly. Royal Coachman pattern on a hollow point Sproat 
hook, ringed size 2/0; one hollow point treble hook, ringed size 1/0, feathered, 
and six interchangeable spoon blades. 
If your dealer cannot supply you wo will mail you one set postpaid on receipt

of Now. 
may trip the light fantastic to their hearts’ content. 
Before closing this communication it might 
be well for me to say a few words about the 
best kinds of tackle and bait to use. I have al¬ 
ready expressed my opinion on rods; and as for 
reels, it is generally true that the higher their 
price the more satisfactorily they will work. As 
I had left most of my fishing tackle in Havana, 
Cuba, I took with me two old reels that were not 
very good, consequently I borrowed a Talbot 
reel from my friend, Russell. That make of reel 
leaves nothing to be desired. As for lines, I 
am addicted to the use of fairly strong ones. 
The old “Neverbreak” that I used many years 
ago was the best line for all around, fresh-water 
fishing that was ever manufactured; but, alas! 
it is no longer on the market. For spoons a No. 
4 3 A or a No. 5 Skinner or something similar is 
best suited to the average fish of Leech Lake, 
but if I were after muscallonge or big pickerel, 
I should prefer a larger size. Medium sized 
triple hooks are the best, and it is advisable to 
purchase them undressed so as to attach a pick¬ 
erel gullet and a small piece of bright red flan¬ 
nel to two of the three hooks. Sinkers are re¬ 
quired, because the best of the fishing is gener¬ 
ally to be found near the bottom of the lake. 
Swivels, too, are a necessity, and there should be 
at least a foot of wire between the spoon and the 
line. 
On the morning of Tuesday the 17th I said 
good-bye to my friends and started homeward, 
well content m every respect with my outing, and 
only regretting that it could not be prolonged. 
My fifty pounds of fish which Si had iced so 
carefuly arrived in perfect condition, and for 
three days my family lived almost entirely on 
a fish diet. They and several of our neighbors 
To any Western fisherman desiring good sport, 
together with comfortable accommodations at 
reasonable cost and with a minimum of trouble 
and exertion, I heartily recommend Walker as a 
stopping place and the waters of Leech Lake and 
those of the neighboring small lakes as fishing 
grounds. 
THE FUN OF IT ALL.

effect that, “You can’t eat your cake, and still 
have it,” and if we insist upon gorging it all at 
one sitting, then the next time we feel a craving 
for pastry and visit the cupboard we will know 
just how our old friend Mother Hubbard felt. 
Reluctantly we are forced to admit that the wild 
life of wood and water is to-day but a shadow 
of its former self; but it is still with us, barring 
a few lamentable exceptions. Conditions are 
daily becoming more unfavorable for its contin¬ 
ued existence; our forests are becoming de¬ 
nuded, the shores of secluded little lakes are 
beginning to bristle with the vacationist’s bunga¬ 
low; the sheltered bays and inlets of our sea¬ 
shore resound to the spiteful exhaust of motor 
boats; while the vast army of shooters is daily 
increasing with the rapid growth of population. 
Nature is the sportsman’s playground, and 
without its wild denizens it would be to him a 
barren waste, except perhaps from an artistic 
standpoint. The true sportsman will not inten¬ 
tionally be unreasonable and selfish, but there 
are times when the flesh is weak, and realizin; 
his limitations he will not resent nor disregard 
those rules of conduct which have been deemed 
necessary to warn him that he has reached the 
maximum of pleasure, rnd that further indulg¬ 
ence will be working a selfish injustice upon his 
brother sportsmen and the future generations. 
The time has come when we have got to be 
reasonable. 
“And just so short of reason he must fall, 
Who thinks all made for one, not one for all.” 
We must at all costs preserve the incentive 
that takes us abroad to forest and stream. Real 
sport and carnage are no longer synonymous. 
The latter, to those of us who are familiar with 
the conditions that obtain to-day, does not sug¬ 
gest a high degree of prowess, but rather that 
the circumstances must have been such as to 
render the performance commonplace. And fi¬ 
nally, viewing the matter fairly and squarely, 
are not some of our most cherished memories 
linked with days when we returned from the 
field happy, though lightly laden? 
Anticipation, realization, reminiscence; let us 
willingly read and heed the handwriting on the 
wall, lest the first two perish in our day, and the 
third with us.
