they all seem to get the fish, more OF

the manipulation of the rod
Although the majority of the arti
fetal bats do not resemble any nat
ural bait, that is, not that you could
notice without first having read their
pedigrees, through some inexplainable
reason the fish strike them, and. as
they generally have hooks galore, even
the beginner has no difficulty in hook
ing his fish; fact is, many times the
fish hooks itself. OF course you'll have
to jot this down in your dream-book
"Hookin EN- doesn't always mean

What Makes EN- Do TT
Probably when a highly cultured
bass sees one of these gloriously dec
GRATED affairs splash in his home
grounds he up and makes a dash at il
in anger at the rough-neck intrusion
of the queer-looking object, or per
haps strikes it in pure cussedness
egged on by the wonderful movements
OF the little demon in its wobble back
home to the caster.
How they ever dug the big bunch

To Illustrate this point old man, at
/ the opening of the season | took q
! flyer at bass. It had been cold and
rainy, with high waters. and the bass
were quiet and far-offish. My tackle
box was decked out with a collection

nervous, jealous or fighting mad. The
bass sure were of their feed, both il
color and share. Nothing seemed t
