Here is a lure so natural in appearance that 
the bass strike it and are often caught when 
the bait is lying still on the surface. Fre¬ 
quently fish are caught when there has been 
a backlash. Can you beat it? Take it from 
us — THE BAIT CASTERS WHO “GET 
NEXT” TO THIS LURE AND THE MAN¬ 
NER OF HANDLING IT ARE GOING TO 
CATCH MORE FISH 
PORK RIND ANGLERS 
Do you realize the superiority of our Polly 
Wiggle Pork Rind Lure? The big thing 
about it is that you have a pork rind bait 
with which you can fish on the surface. 
No lure which runs below the surface is 
as weedless as one which comes along on 
the surface and rides over the weeds and 
moss. Then you can also convert the Polly 
Wiggle into a deep running bait. The Polly 
Wiggle always wiggles the rind on the sur¬ 
face and below and you want it if you want 
the fish. 
POLLY WIGGLE 
many as twelve fox traps set in one 
place. I have over one hundred in this 
swamp,” and he pointed to a small 
cedar about a dozen paces away, where 
I noticed a rabbit hanging about five 
feet from the ground. 
His method employed in trapping 
fox is to hang up a rabbit, slit it down 
the belly while yet warm and allow the 
entrails to hang out and the blood to 
drop on the ground at the foot of the 
tree; he then sets a number of traps 
around the tree and covers them with 
leaves. Reynard, attracted by the 
smell of the rabbit, walks around in¬ 
vestigating, steps on one of the traps, 
then bounces around and becomes fast 
in two or three more. He uses only 
size one and one-half traps. 
I wished the old fellow good luck as 
he moved away down the swamp, and 
stood thinking what I should do next. 
I decided I would follow the dogs again 
at once, as it would soon be getting 
dark and I would want to get clear of 
the swamp before night set in. I had 
traveled, perhaps three hundred yards, 
forgetting about Pepper who had been 
following at my heels when I left the 
lane, and was sitting on a log listening 
intently to get the correct direction of 
the dogs, as they were again quite a 
distance away, and the rain made quite 
a little noise dropping through the 
trees, when I beheld Pepper coming 
toward me, his face looked like a hajf- 
worn-out paint brush, so full was it of

porcupine quills. If there is any job 
I dislike, it is extracting quills from a 
dog, but unpleasant as it is for every¬ 
one concerned, I know it has to be done. 
So I quickly gave the signal for Fred 
to come to me, and I was thankful that 
I had arranged one. 
It was quite a while before Fred 
reached me and it was getting dusk 
when we got the last quill out of Pep¬ 
per’s mouth and nose. Fortunately, 
we had a pair of long-pointed pliers 
which I always carry for this purpose, 
as it is next to impossible to pull them 
out with the fingers. While we were 
working with the quills the other dogs 
had passed again, going toward the 
road. They were so far away to the 
southeast that we knew for the second 
time that day, reynard had crossed the 
road and again we both had been in 
the swamp when he had crossed. 
We came out of the swamp (with the 
aid of our compass) about one mile 
from camp, but in order to stay in the 
clearing it was necessary to travel 
about one and one-half miles. It was 
so dark when we reached our camp 
that we could not see one foot ahead. 
I do not think I ever appreciated the 
little tent and oil stove so much as I 
did that evening, coming in tired, hun¬ 
gry and wet. We knew we should 
have to stay that night, for even if the 
dogs w.mld leave the chase and come
