DEATH DEALING"
PLUG GETS RISE
"Royal COachman" Tells Why
Lure Is Humane and
~SDOrtsmanlike.
BLACK BASS EXPERIENCES
~ ROYAL COACHMAN.

black bass has been with the use OF tho
white and yellow plug.
We can assume that a block OF wood
% loaded with gangs OF hooks. trebled
or clustered and hung from various parts
Of tho lure. Is a death dealing bait or
weapon such a. described by Kit Clarke
and an unsportsmanilkc lure to use In
fishing for black bass or any OF the fresh
water gams hsh.
I would like to express my desire for
using this kind Of q lure, with ain excep-
tlon here that In place OF the trcbles two
or three single hooks dangle from 1t.
This Mug floats; therefore I use 1t. and
say here that I prefer this to the link
ing bait or bats. for the reason that I
can see the fighter with my own eyes
when he strikes" or attacks II. II being
half the fascination for me In catching
the fish.
Also because I know he has a greater
chance on the plug to get away than on
any other bait or lure, for when striking
he comes to the surface and fights or
breaks water and shakes himself with
pugnacious tenaclty that would delight
any angler TO witness than IL caught IN

have time and again defended the
plug. and ! want to say that II II almost
impossible for tire angler to catch and
land a black bass on a plug with one
hook on Il. Unless there are two or three
hooks OF the plug the chances are very
slim In the anglers favor.
This one will nod his head with satis-
factory agreement with me II he has
. experience with black bass n the
plug. lnasmuch as my experience has
enabled me to handle these fighters on
this lure l think this should perm. me
