4.0 out of 5 stars A carp fisherman's review, December 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Strategic Carp Fishing (Hardcover)

Having purchased the book over a year ago and being a carp fisherman for over three years I found that the advice on bait application and overall fishing strategies invaluable, it has a given me a real insight into getting closer to understanding the carps mind. The book has given me not only extensive knowledge, but a improvement in results, both on and off the bank, a great read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Barely readable, March 6, 2005

This review is from: Strategic Carp Fishing (Hardcover)

There might be good advice in the book, but it is not written well. There is a lot of self-promotion by the authors. The language changes through the book, probably due to being written by more then one author. At least one of these authors is not understable by American reader at all due to extensive use of (probably) British fishing terminology, incomplete phrases and a lot of "scientific" pretense.
The entire chapter on bait does not have a single recipe. Nothing even resembling a recipe. Not even a hint of what common ingredients are.
