A new idea for live bait fishing has
.lossomed out this season. and will
robably be tried in some Of our local
alters. though the veteran casters tina:
ave beard of It are inclined to Be
Eeptical as TO its merits. The device
known as "armored bait" and con-
lists Of a live minnow inside a glass
De about the size of test tube.
The tube has small holes in the glass
nd,' where the bait is put in and the
ned attached. and also In the rear
nd. This allows the water TO cir
ulate through the tube fast enough to
-eep the fish alive, but not fast
.nough to drown" It even in the swift
st water. Four gang HOOKS are AT
ached to the tube by German silver
ands, one on each side Of the rear
md and one on each side of the Tor
~ard end
The theory is that the fish sees the
ninnow but not the glass armor sur
ounding IL. and makes for it open
Tnouthed, only to be snagSed by one OF
he numerous hooks. The glass not
only protects the bait from injury, so
nat the same minnow may he used all
lay and still be fresh as d daley at
uightfall. but it also magnifies IT, so
nat TO the unsuspecting quarry II looks
Ike a fun meal when il is actually only
a mouthful. The cynics will doubtless
Interrupt at this point long enough TO
say that the biggest demand is for some
thing that will magnify the fish when
he fisherman is showing il TO his
friends.
The Potomac continues 10 be muddy
but IL is believed that the muddiness
has passed and by tonight the stream
will begin to clear up a little. II this
hope Is justified. next Sunday will be a
dig day, and some desirable catches or
rock and white perch ought to be re-
ported.
