Mr. Henry C. Brush, of Brush's Mills, N.Y., has patented through the
Scientific American Patent Agency an improved troller, the novel
feature in which consists in attaching a float to the shank of the
implement under the revolving blade, the object being to keep the
troller near the surface of the water, where the fish may see it more
readily, and whereby the liability of catching in weeds and logs is
obviated.
[Illustration]
A is a float, attached to the shank, _a_, of the troller. B is the
spoon, which is swiveled in the usual manner. The device is very
simple, and is claimed to prevent all the annoyance arising from the
hook catching in sunken obstructions.
