no longer be -discarded after its;long I
hang,on. the wall# It can :be made, into :a[
fishing lure, fhats what ,1 said, ;a :f.ish-j
ing lure,, "After the handle, has been cut;
off , drill a hole between -the-first- pair j
of brittle,- tufts, A brass screw eye is j
twisted through the hole and- then thr-j
.ough. the. eye of" the hook oyer which it f
is,riveted. A bundle of - horsehair> (or
Similar hair is lashed in,position and
the winding, shellacked, The ’ bristle
tufts are then tapered off. toward the j
• tail. This lure has little body actionJ^
but if the horsehair-is trimmed to the^F
■right stiffness, ; ^he’-wings for Id back at|
each pull of the line and spring back asj
so.on as the . movement is slacked. If j<
•rhere are three rows of bristles"in your ■

I ■ .7Here’s something■for those 'who like
j to try every kind of bait ever mentioned
j The , one I’m about to mention may be, a
j little hard to get, but give it a try
j you won’t regret it. The next time your
j wife goes to the Commissary have ' her
\ piok up a chicken. But don’t let her
j fry the neck, thats the bait. The only
i fish fl have ever tried this type Of bait
j on is. "trout, and I had excellent results
I Here is how it's done, - When you are
! ready'to bait your hook, cut off a strip
I of; skin. -Hook this strip at one end and
j skitter or tnol 'it. If no action is the
! result, cut another strip,' this time put
j a little coloring on it. The best thing
j for ..that is finger nail polish,' And
| your guaranteed to get your fish. '
