A good lure angler is a true artist. Sport fishing is rapidly increasing in popularity. Whether it is the visual impact of a dramatic explosion of water as a bass or a barramundi hammers a surface lure of the sudden dead stop of the line as a big kingfish inhales a jig, there is no experience in fishing to match the adrenaline rush produced by that strike.
'The Book Of Lures' is the definitive guide to selecting the best lure and achieving better fishing results for sporting anglers who enjoy the thrill of fishing with lures. Selecting the best lure from the many thousands that are available has been bewildering - until now. This ground-breaking guide has been compiled by two of the most experienced anglers in the field. After evaluating all the lures available across the globe, they have distilled this information into 12 fundamental lure styles and their unique features.
Ron Calcutt and Tim Simpson explain the advantages of each style of lure, how to use each one, how they work and how to pick the difference between a great lure and a poor one. This information will save you a fortune in a 'dud' lures and wasted fishing trips!
Many myths have developed about fishing and lures. The authors cut through the misinformation to present the truth about how fish see, feel, hear and hunt underwater and what triggers fish to attack. This insight means less time spent waiting and hoping for the fish to bit.
The roles of size, colour, speed, sound and design are explained, as well as knots, leaders, new super lines, fish-finding techniques and the critical 'strike zone'
If you read this book, you will, without doubt, catch more fish!
