Joe, under no. 14 (doodle) you mention a baby bottle nipple and a treble
hook. As all my granddaughters are now in sippy cups we have a number of
bottles sitting in the back of the cabinet. How is the nipple rigged? I"d
like to play mind games with my fellow bass clubbers.

Some of my uncles used that rig many years ago. Stick the eye of the
treble thru the hole in the business end of the nipple from the
inside, with the three hooks sitting around the bottom of the nipple.
You can fish it from a long pole and short line. Just kiss the surface
of the water with the bottom of the nipple - makes a sucking,
popping sound if you are doing it right. At least that is what they
did with it.

They also use a balloon - hook an uninflated balloon to a hook on the
long pole with a short heavy line and skitter it along shoreline
cover, keeping it on the surface.

They had lots of tricks. Some of them worked.
