dapper

dapper na hook weighted with a lead for quick sinking in codfishing. The lead and hook are all in one while the usual hooks and leads used to catch cod in the fall are not. The dapper is also much lighter. I used one this past spring to catch fish when the caplin come in. The dapper being lighter that ordinary 'lead & hook' are use then because [Reverse] the fish are 'on the surface' chasing the caplin. Because the fish are not on the bottom when the dapper is thrown overboard it is thrown away from the boat so that it will sink slowly & give the 'floating' fish a chance to eat it.YesDICT CEN.Used IUsed INot useddabber, damper"Newfoundland Folklore Survey Card"; Reverse side of D_13037; Checked by Cathy Wiseman on Mon 15 Dec 201
