Run out of fresh bait? Fish not biting? No fish in the bag?

NOT ANY MORE – fishing with lures negates those tired excuses, and that fishy smell after hours of feeding pilchards to the great unknown!

Almost any lure will catch a fish eventually, but how long do you want to wait? This book is for all the people that don’t want to wait very long!

After evaluating every lure imaginable, Ron Calcutt and Tim Simpson have successfully categorised thousands of lures into 12 fundamental lure styles and their unique features.

They explain how to select the lure you need. How they work, the advantages each style can give you, how you would use them and how to pick the very best lure, this alone will save you a fortune in poor quality lures and wasted fishing trips!

There are many myths and theories associated with lures and fish. Here the authors cut through the misinformation and present the real story on what triggers fish to attack and how fish see, feel, hear and hunt underwater. This insight will give you an enormous advantage and result in more success while spending less of your time waiting and hoping.

The roles of size, colour, speed, sound and design dynamics as well as knots, leaders, new super lines, fish finding techniques and the critical strike zone are all explained in great detail.
