“Bass as long as 
an Oar Blade” 
The above string of large bass was caught by Mr. H. L. Williams. 
of Columbus, Georgia. 
The smallest weighed 614, the largest 934 pounds. 
They were caught 
in a few hours’ casting with a Shimmy Wiggler. 
How many of you boys who read this have ever caught bass like these— 
bass as long as an oar blade? How many of you have thrown back three, 
four and five-pound bass just because you didn’t want to spoil a good pic- 
ture—just “‘put the little ones back” to give them a chance to grow up to 
bass worth catching? 
Mr. Williams runs a large mill in Columbus. 
him to step out in the mill, pick up a chunk of wood, and ‘roll his own;” 
but he is an expert angler and his wide angling experience has got him sold 
lock, stock and barrel on 
Al Foss Pork Rind Minnows 
It would have been easy for 
When he goes fishing he does not 
carry around a trunk full of nonde- 
script lures, but uses Al Foss lures 
exclusively. If you want to take 
strings of large bass, you cannot do 
better than follow ‘his lead. 
A word of caution, however — 
The sensational success of Foss 
Pork Rind Minnows over the past 
eight years has brought the inevitable 
flood of imitations. 
An imitation of a patented lure is 
not the genuine and unhampered 
product of an angler who has hit 
upon a fish-getting lure after years of 
experimenting along original lines. 
An imitation is the result of some- 
one’s observing the phenomenal sale 
of some other man’s lure, and then 
sitting down and trying to figure out 
not a lure that will catch fish but a 
lure that, while evading the other 
man’s patents, will still have enough 
of the appearance and general char- 
acteristics of the successful lure, that 
it will catch anglers’ dollars! 
The “action” of a Foss Pork Rind 
Minnow is the result of a delicate 
combination of weight, shape, balance 
fore-and-aft, placing of spinner and 
method of attaching pork rind—also 
the shape, thickness, weight and 
tapering of the pork strip itself. To 
duplicate a Foss Minnow’s action, 
which depends on all these, would 
mean to exactly reproduce the lure 
in every particular. This is prohib- 
ited by patents. So it is impossible 
to duplicate the fish-get-ability of 
these lures. 
Be sure you get the genuine “‘original, undiluted, aged-in-the-wood”’ 
Al Foss Pork Rind Minnows this year—and use with them the real Al 
Foss Pork Strips. If your dealer cannot supply you, send direct to
