For this purpose many excellent "revolving or spoon baits" are used, having concealed about them one or more hooks, both open and wfeedless, for .use in various waters, used with and without foods at- tached to them. While the 3rd is by "Bait or Ply Casting" or tempting and deceiving fish with apparent or nat- ural dainty morsels, either insect or other form, deftly thrown or tightly tossed on the surface of the waters, that which represents what the fish is known to be fond of or antagonistic to, and by skill- ful manipulation, imitating life, and of all sport, requiring knowledge and skill, that experience only can master, this, of all, stands pre-eminently alone, for fly or bait casting holdsthe same relation to other fishing as ''poetry does to prosed.
