Ultralight spin-fishing provides much the same challenge and excitement as fly-fishing - with a mere fraction of the investment in equipment. More accurate casts, more strikes and a better feel of what's happening at the end of the line are just some of the benefits of this popular angling method. Despite its name, ultra-light equipment is robust enough for pursuing trophy-sized freshwater fish as well as more aggressive saltwater species. In this guide Peter Cammann presents the latest information on equipment and explains the key tactics, techniques and lures you need to be most effective with all kinds of fish. Tips for catching trout, bass, salmon, northern pike, wall-eye, panfish and such saltwater species as bluefish, striped bass, and barracuda are covered in detail.

From Library Journal
When anglers decide to try a more challenging alternative to fishing with the popular spinning rod and reel, they usually opt for flyfishing or ultralight spin-fishing. The latter, which uses downsized spinning gear, lacks the cachet of flyfishing, but its coterie of enthusiasts is growing as more fishers discover the thrill of catching big fish on small equipment. Much finesse is required to reel in, for instance, a leaping 16-pound salmon using a lightweight rod and a six-pound test line. Cammann (Fishing Vermont's Streams and Lakes, Countryman, 1992) clearly explains in text and pictures the tackle and techniques that will enable anglers to succeed in their quest for fish ranging from bass to barracuda. Recommended for public libraries.

Those interested in putting more fun (not to mention fish) into their fishing would be wise to invest in ultralight spin fishing. Doing so doesn't mean going on the cheap: a top-of-the-line ultralight rod and reel can cost $200, although decent equipment is available for less. A major advantage of ultralight is that the small rod and reel can be stashed in a car trunk or backpack. What's better, smaller fish are more exciting to catch on such equipment. Cammann leads the prospective ultralighter step-by-step through fishing with this gear, writing straightforwardly and clearly and avoiding the ponderousness that so often afflicts similar texts. Although hooking and landing a large salmon or bluefish on ultralight equipment is truly adventurous, and Cammann devotes chapters to catching those strong, powerful fish with ultralight, the average weekend warrior will wisely go for panfish, trout, and the occasional bass or walleye, so Cammann advises how to catch them, too.

Ultralight Spin Fishing - A Practical Guide,

This review is from: Ultralight Spin-Fishing: A Practical Guide for Freshwater and Saltwater Anglers (Paperback)
After reading the few reviews I thought this book was a must-read. I was so wrong. It was a complete waste of time. It might (and that's an iffy might) be good for the rank novice who's just getting into fishing. For anyone with any experience at all, and especially someone with years of ultralight experience, this book is a complete waste. You'll get a lot more for your money spent if you spend it on on lures.

This review is from: Ultralight Spin-Fishing: A Practical Guide for Freshwater and Saltwater Anglers (Paperback)
This book is a clear winner for people getting into fishing in the ultra light manner. It didn't meet my needs but it would definitely fit other people who live near rivers, lakes, and streams as well as areas of exceptionally small surf areas in the east coast or possibly in Southern California.
