 TERRIFIC AS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE October 25, 2005
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
YOU'LL BE MORE SATISFIED WITH THIS BOOK IF YOU THINK OF IT AS A SPECIFIC ITEM REFERENCE MANUAL.IT'S NOT A MEMORY RIDDEN TALE FROM SOME OLD TIMER OF FISHING 'BACK IN THE DAY' ... SIMPLY PUT ITS NOT A PAGE ONE TO PAGE 256 STRAIGHT THROUGH READ AND YOU'LL REALIZE THAT SHORTLY AFTER YOU NOD OFF TRYING TO GET THROUGH CHAPTER 1'S LENGTHY DISECTION OF RODS AND REELS ... YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE THE REAL VALUE OF THIS BOOK IS TO USE IT RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT ... EVEN DURING AN ACTUAL OUTING WHEN ... FOR EXAMPLE .. YOU SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU'VE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN HOW TO TIE A UNIKNOT, OR YOU CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE HECK THE 'COAT HANGER' (SPREADER) IS THAT YOU FOUND IN YOUR FRIENDS TACKLEBOX ...SADLY, THERE IS NO MATCHING TACKLE TO CERTAIN FISH,AND A LOT OF GLARING AND/OR ANNOYING OMISSIONS SUCH AS THE BEST WAY TO RIG A FROZEN ANCHOVY FOR EXAMPLE; ON THE OTHER HAND THE WRITER SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES A PIC OF HOW TO RIG A DEAD SHRIMP ... I WANTED TO SEE A RIGGED FROZEN ANCHOVY SOOO BADLY ... (WHO DECIDED THE SHRIMP WAS MORE IMPORTANT ? ...)
THE MATERIAL IS HELPFUL ... IF IT IS INCLUDED ... BUT FRUSTRATING WHEN A CHAPTER SUDDENLY BECOMES 'UNEVEN' IN ITS INSTRUCTIONAL STRENGTH ... AS IF THE WRITER WAS CONTINUALLY 'WARMING' ONLY TO HIS FAVORITE FISHING EXPERTISE ... AND SKIMMING OVER THINGS HE KNEW LESS OF ... THIS WRITER DID NO RESEARCH AT ALL OF ANY KNOWLEDGE HE KNEW LESS ABOUT,IT WAS SIMPLY IGNORED OR SKIMMED OVER AS HE SIMPLY DREW ONLY FROM HIS OWN EXPERIENCE ... I'D BUY IT AGAIN,AND I DO KEEP IT WITH ME WHILE FISHING, BUT YOU'LL NOT FIND IT QUITE AS 'COMPLETE' AS THE COVER CLAIMS IT IS.

Easy to read and very informative. It will give you the insight and knowledge to make sure your rig holds up once you've gotten the fish to bite. This book goes into detail on everything from hook sizes to which rigs could be vulnerable to sharp teeth. I would recommend this book to any fisherman.

 Good Pictures - Lots of Rigs - Short on uses June 15, 2005

This book is excellent in describing every rig imaginable. However, It rarely describes any use of a particular rig to targeting any specific species of gamefish. While the pictures and diagrams are excellent, the information on tackle and materials up-to-date, there is little or no instruction on which rig to use for any particular form of fishing.
Did I like the book? - Yes. Was I left still looking for the information that would help me use these tackle methods? Also, yes.
I'm happy I bought it, and would do so again, but it was not a "complete" book on baits, rigs and tackle.

The very best tackle instruction I have ever seen. Simple, to the point, and nothing extra. THE BEST.
