Other supports are made by bend- ing the end of an iron rod into a U-shaped receiver for the pole. Stoiring Poles. When not trolling the poles are seldom left spread because of the danger of being broken. In some cases they are laid on deck along tlie gunwales, sometimes lashed to the top of the house with their bases in the bows, often drawn up vertically beside the short mast, fitting in notches at the mast liead. Sometimes the pole base is hinged so that the poles may be lowered aft against the top of the house. In a few cases the mast is set on a hinged base so that mast and poles may be low^ered at night or to pass under a bridge. Pole Line. In trolling the main line is not attached to the pole directly. There is a short large-sized line or "pole line" with one end tied to the pole tip and the other end provided Avith a snap hook which is snapped into the main line at any desired point. The upper portion of the main line then hangs loose from the snap to the stern of the boat and provides a very convenient method of pulling in the line, since the pole line and snap are from 15 to 25 feet out from the stern while Fig. 13. Diagram showing gear arrangement on a salmon boat. The pole line is a few feet longer than the pole so that it may be unsnapped from the main line and snapped into a cord loop on the gunwale near the stern when the main line is being hauled or when the poles are stowed against the mast. This arrangement easily allows the main line to be fished at any desired depth. The snap may be used in the loop of any lead or in loops tied in the main line two and one- half or fi
