Book Description

January 1998
Vic's Latest Knowledge Will Help You Catch'em...

This new edition is a major encore for Vic Dunaway, whose byline has been known to anglers all over the country, and in foreign lands as well, for more than 40 years. He has written hundreds of articles for national and regional magazines, and thousands of newspaper columns. He is, of course, a book author and also has appeared on four different television networks, as well as numerous local and syndicated programs.

Though skilled in many different angling specialties, and many writing styles, his strongest interest is in the teaching of fishing skills and enjoyment. Perhaps no other fishing writer has his knack for selecting just the right information on a particular angling subject and presenting it in the quickest, clearest manner--without unnecessary frills or padding.

Dunaway was founding editor when publisher Karl Wickstrom began Florida Sportsman Magazine more than a quarter of a century ago, and has played a leading role in the publication's growth into the largest and most authoritative monthly fishing magazine in the country.



Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Every Angler's "Must Have" Book...

This book is a comprehensively revised and expanded edition of the all-time best-selling reference book for all kinds of fishing.

Ever since its first edition two decades ago, Vic Dunaway's Complete Book of Baits, Rigs and Tackle has established itself as the one book covering all the key mechanics that are so important to fishing success at every level of interest or experience, from polefishing to big-game angling.

And now, BRT--as it is nicknamed--is bigger and more comprehensive than ever.

Every angler, whether a beginner or expert, whether in fresh water or salt, will want to own this valuable volume of know-how and refer to it often over the fun-filled fishing years ahead.

In these pages you'll find the same authoritative yet easily understood information that caused the record-setting sales success of the book's first eleven printings that have served more than a quarter of a million delighted BRT buyers.

It's a remake of a classic with stores of new information, illustrations and tips that will keep you up to date on all the latest advancements in tackle, equipment and expertise.

So enjoy a classic revisited. And hook a big one for Vic. --Karl Wickstrom Publisher, Florida Sportsman Magazine

From the Inside Flap

"This is the best book there is for fishermen--beginner or veteran. Anyone who wants to learn more about fishing should own this book." --Al Pflueger World-Famous Angler "Certainly this expanded edition is the best of all comprehensive reference books on fishing in general." --Lefty Kreh Renowned Angling Expert "Vic Dunaway is one of the few real pros, and the wealth of information he presents in this book will benefit fishermen everywhere." --Ted Williams Expert Angler and Baseball Hall of Famer THE FISHIEST OF AUTHORS

If you had to choose one person who knows his Florida fish and how to catch them better than any other angler of our time, it would have to be Vic Dunaway.

Vic's seen virtually all of them, up close, on the end of his fishing line. Moreover, Vic has sampled the culinary value of seemingly every finny thing that swims.

In this Baits, Rigs & Tackle book, Vic shares with you his half-century of experience, telling you everything you need to know to go out and start fishing.

Vic is no snob when it comes to teaching fishing skills and techniques. We can all benefit from his hard-earned knowledge.

As founding editor of Florida Sportsman Magazine, author of best-selling books, contributor to national magazines, and TV personality, Vic is widely acclaimed as the dean of Florida outdoor writers, an expert who plies quiet streams for bluegill one day and searches the seas for marlin the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you own a tackle box you need this book., January 21, 1999
This review is from: Complete Book of Baits, Rigs and Tackle (Paperback)
The legendary Vic Dunaway has contributed a great deal to the angling community over the years. This book is one I recommend to all anglers. The book is well researched and can answer many questions for the armchair or professional angler. The illustrations are the next best thing to having someone show you how to rig.
