Tackle, casting, bait and reading the water are set out here in a single reference covering coarse, game and sea fishing.
Techniques are shown step by step with photographs, and the equipment sections explain what rods, reels, lines, hooks and rigs are for rather than simply listing them. Later chapters deal with judging a stretch of water, choosing a spot and handling fish once they are landed, with notes on care and safety on the bank. The flexibound binding runs 352 pages and holds up to outdoor use.
Ground it covers:
• Coarse, game and sea fishing treated in one volume
• Step-by-step photographs for knots, casting and rig setup
• Equipment explained by purpose rather than as a catalogue
• 352 flexibound pages published by DK
For beginners taking up the rod and experienced anglers who want one reference to hand, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
