Add to ORKGnewfoundlandThe Newfoundland or Banker's Lead is a favourite sinker in the Cod-fishery, of a sugar-loaf form, with the base cut off at an angle. It works with a long snood like the Dartmouth Dip, and in Cod-fishing with two hooks only. At each end holes are made to receive a ganging or stiffening of served yarn, and the line being bent on to the ganging of the sharp end the snood is attached to the other. It is a favourite rig with the Teignmouth men for Whiting and general ground-fishing.DNE-cit (Illust. supplied.)W Kirwin 22 Sept 64Used I and SupNot usedWithdraw
