20. Ground Bait should be used in the spot about to be fished, and, if possible, the night before, and should be fresh. For carp, chub, roach, or dace, use white bread soaked in water, and mixed with bran and pollard. For roach, dace, and bleak, mix clay and bran together in balls the size of a pigeon's egg. For barbel, chandler's greaves, boiled and worked up into a ball with clay. For carp, tench, and eels, malt soaked in water is good ; or gentils may be thrown in. TO BAIT A HOOK WITH GENTIL...S. To bait a hook with gentils, enter the point of the hook into the gentil near either end, and bring it out at the other end ; then draw the point back again just within the gentil, enough to hide it. The best way to bait with a gentil whose skin is somewhat tough, especially in cold weather, is by piercing the skin in the first instance. TO BAIT WITH GREAVES. First select the whitest pieces from those you have soaked, and put four or five of them upon your hook, or as much as will cover it from the bend to and over the point j these pieces should not be bigger than a pea, and should be put on the hook separately, one after the other not a large piece doubled, as some c 18 FISHING.
