"Without doubt, lure fishing must be the most effective but under-used method of catching pike today. However, this highly practical new book should go some way to redressing this imbalance. ...The author examines each basic type of lure as well as their more unusual variants, in the process building up a detailed picture about their practical applications to catching pike. It is a book which cannot fail to put the budding lure angler very firmly in the picture about this absorbing and highly exciting method". Chapters include: Basic lure tackle; Plugs and plug fishing; Spinners and barspoons; Spinnerbaits; Spoons and spoon fishing; Surface lure fishing; Jigs and other lures; Coping with snags; A general approach.
