Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Mark Sosin has distilled light-tackle fishing to its essence, wrote the late A. J. McClane. 'You'll find yourself dog-earing the pages of this book for its technical wizardry.' There is little margin for error in light-tackle fishing, and every aspect of the pursuit becomes critical. That's why Sosin explores the method in such great detail - how to choose and care for the best rods, reels, and lines; the most effective knots; and how to play, land, and release the major game fish. Major chapters include information on: how to entice fresh and saltwater fish with lures; tips and techniques for fishing from boat or shore; fishing with all major types of bait; how to find and catch fish in rivers, bays, estuaries, and in the surf; night fishing, jigging, trolling, chumming; and much more. The Complete Book of Light-Tackle Fishing is the most thorough book devoted to the art of taking fish with the lightest lines. This book is sure to help increase any angler's skills.
