A Common Shot In those days, the plain hook shot was far more common than it is in the game today.

Sean took off his fly, tied on a plain hook, picked a buttercup and stuck it on the hook, cast, and caught a fish.

I chose the local tackle: a long cane pole rigged with a plain hook that looked straight out of Huck Finn - except for the wire leader to ward off the piranha's teeth.
