. Book of the black bass. Artificial Insects.(A. B. Shipley & Artificial Crawfish.(Conroy, Bissett & Malleson.) artificial baits. 317 The Bob. Of all baits or lures used in Black Bass angling, one ofthe rudest in structure, the most nondescript in appearance,yet one of the most effective and killing in actual practice,is the bob of the extreme Southern States. It has been in use in Florida for more than a century,and was first described by that quaint old naturalist. Bar-tram, in 17(54. His description and method of using it, areidentical with the bob and its use at the present day inFlorida, Louisiana, and Texas. The bob is composed of a triple hook, or three hookstied back to back, and invested with a portion of a deerstail, in the manner of a large, bushy, hackle; often inter-mixed with red and white feathers, or strips of scarletcloth. It forms a tassel or tuft, somewhat similar to theso-called triple hook fly attached to most trolling spoons. CHAPTER XYI. NATURAL BAITS.
