A Bait 
That Kills 
A couple of trailing streamers of red 
flannel will accomplish wonders at times, 
if inserted on the hook. Often big clumsy 
bits of this cloth look queer on the spoon- 
hook lure, and yet they work wonders in 
attracting pike. The addition of this red 
flannel is often the means of contriving a 
capture when other methods have failed. 
See that they stream in the water: when 
they produce an undulating motion they are 
the most attractive. 
It is said that red acts on preying fishes 
much as it does when flashed in front of an 
angry bull. This is the reason why so 
much red is used on artificial minnows, 
bucktails, etc. And no doubt it fulfills a 
purpose, for red seems to be without any 
doubt a winning coloration in the eyes of 
the fish. 
As for the strips of flannel attached to 
the spoonhook, I think it is chiefly the un¬ 
dulating motion and apparent animation 
that creates in the water that arouses the 
fish to strike. This I have proven by using 
white cloth strips with good success. 
You will, likewise, have agreeable luck if 
you attach a pair of small red trailers to 
your plebeian pork rind lure; some use red 
yarn. These threads have a peculiar motion 
in the water that arouses curiosity in the 
fish and adds animation to the lure. 
In using pork rind lures it is a singu 
larly good idea to have a spinner up ahead 
of the rind. Hooks with these spinners al¬ 
ready attached are to be had in many forms 
on the market. The glitter and the pork 
rind form a double attraction. My best 
results have been had with the spinner in 
collaboration with the rind. 
It is wrong to believe that the larger the 
lure the more attractive it is. Rather it can 
be said that the smaller, lighter lure has 
many points to its favor that the large lure 
has not. This has been evidenced in the 
smaller artificial minnows that are being put 
out by all the manufacturers. In fact I have 
come to believe firmly that a too large 
artificial rather frightens than causes a bass 
to be attracted to it to strike. This may be 
said to be especially true where the waters 
are very clear. I do admit there is a place 
for the large artificials, and that is where 
the waters are murky, or not out and out 
clear, or when the day is cloudy. But 
when the day is sunshiny and the waters 
are clear I would, on all counts, recommend 
for use the smaller sized minnow. Also 
in murky water, as after a rain, the pure 
white minnow is best seen, and the drab- 
colored minnows will not be seen. 
The best minnow that the bass fishermen 
in the south can use is the white colored 
one, since much of the water in the south 
is not too clear.
