122 LAKE AND STREAM GAME FISHING

minnow or frog. To make the latter bait, it is only necessary to cut a wider piece of pork and split the tail into two legs. The fact that the pork is fresh and limber makes it take a very lifelike motion through the water, and at the same time when a fish strikes a pork rind bait it does not immediately throw it out of its mouth, as is the case with wooden baits. The pork has more of the soft feel of the live bait to the fish, and it's a twenty-to-one shot that he'll try to swallow it.

PORK CHUNK GOOD BAIT

Chunks of pork cut wedge shape are very successful bait, especially for casting. Take a piece about one and a half inches across the top, two inches long and one inch thick. Taper this down to half an inch at the end and cut off the rind except at the thickest end. Decorate this chunk with red yarn around the head and you have an A-i casting bait.

If you don't want to bother with making your own pork rind baits, you can get the strips in bottles or the chunks in boxes at your tackle store, but a lot of the fun of fishing comes from doping up for yourself the bait that later lands the big ones.

In hooking the pork rind, hook it close up to the end so that the balance of the bait is loose and free to move with the water as it is reeled in. Hook it through the pork with the rind on top, so that the bait stands up in the water.
