For the uninitiated let it be
supposed he wants to learn the
art of bait casting. The only way
to do so is by watching an expert
and practicing. Bait casting Is the
refinement of fishing; the poor
mans method of taking the gamy
bass and members of the pike fam
lily. More simple and less expen-
sive than fly casting, it is every bit
as scientific.
The tools are few and their cost
depends upon the purchasers

ship will be as keen as if it rep
resented an outlay 10 times as
great.
First, a rod of five or six feet,
equipped with agate guides. They
come in two and three-piece rods,
the latter preferred, because they
may be carried in a suit case and
are stronger. The cost may be
from $3.50 to $35. A steel rod at
$3.50 is better than wooden rod
at the same price.

So will stand up under the rough
est work and take as many fish as
the high priced products.
When buying a line be particu-
lar. Nothing but undressed braid
ed silk will do. Enamel and
waterproof lines are worthless.
Several standard lines are on the
market, any one Of which is reli-
able. They are sold in 25 yard
lengths. and at least SO yards is
necessary. Size G will be found
best for all around work.
Choice of bait is wide. If after
black bass you can select from live
minnows, frogs and crawfish down
to pork rind, artificial minnows and
the various lures, many of which
are worthless, while others are sure
killers.
One wooden minnow of standard
make will be sufficient Spoon
hooks are advocated, but expert
ence shows they are better for pike
and pickerel than for bass. Buck
tails and small spinners are dead
ly lures when others fail.
Certain small spinners, equipped
with flies, are delightful lures, their
lightness and small hooks making
them attractive to sportsmen.
Fishing in weed infested waters,
NEEDLESS hooks are necessary, and
the simpler it is the more value it
possesses. Complicated arrange
ments but add to the uselessness of
the invention.
A landing net is essential, for
more bass are lost than are taken
by trying to get them into boat,
or on shore without net. When
in pike or pickerel waters, it is
wise to use light wire leader, for

Do you like to fish?
Do you know the joy of day on
a stream where the white water
boils or on placid lake where lily
pads spread?
If so, about this season you begin
to get nervous. The doctor may
prescribe tonic, but get down the
tackle box and overhaul the rods
and see if the uneasiness doesn't
disappear. It's the fishing microbe.
A lot of folks think a cane pole,
scent line, hook, sinker and bObber
good enough to fish with. Well,
that's their business but the reason
they are satisfied is that they never
knew the JOY of the bait caster, the
modern follower of Walton.
But don't disdain the brother of
12-foot cane pole and bobber. There
are times when he will go home
laden with strings which even the
most skillful caster can't accumn-
late.
At this time OF the year maya
zines devoted to fishing and hunting
devote much space to the gentle art
of angling. When you finish read
ing them, unless you are initiated,
you absorb an idea that in order to
take such game fish as bass, pike,
pickerel muskalonge, etc, an outfit
costing from $25 to 500 is neces-
sary
Forget it.
To men who fish for the sake TO
the sport, this story is addressed.
To those who want to get all the
pleasure out of a royal pastime at
the minimum cost, it is designed as
a word of cheer. 1t is for the man
who works, written by one of his
own kind.
