This review is from: Fishing: An encyclopedic guide to tackle and tactics for fresh and salt water (Hardcover)

This is a massive book with 718 pages. Almost 2" THICK!! It weighs about 6 lbs. Written by Joseph Bates around 1972, this is a dark blue clothbound, hardcover OUTDOOR LIFE book published by Dutton. Its DJ is in ... condition, but the pages and the rest are in superb shape. Has color photos of lures and lots of B & W and color photography of fishing scenes from many great spots! Great guide to tackle and tactics for fresh and salt water. AN all around great guide for that avid outdoorsman, who's not happy unless he's around water waiting for that next fish to rise.
