PRACTICAL FISHING KNOTS II. By Mark Sosin and Lefty Kreh.

(1991) later paperback edition. 8vo paperback (150 x 228mm). Pp139. Line illustrations by Rod Walinchus.

First published in 1972 (1975 in the UK as "Practical fishing and boating knots"), this was completely revised in 1991. "Field and Stream Magazine called the first edition of this essential book: 'The longtime bible of knots and knot tying.' That edition sold more than 125,000 copies in the twenty years it remained in print. New lines and leaders, new knots, and new nomenclature have finally required a completely new book - and this is the fully re-written and freshly illustrated successor, a book that all owners of the original Practical Fishing Knots will surely want. Graced with the exceptionally clear line illustrations by Rod Walinchus, made especially for this new edition, this book is a must for all fishermen - fresh and saltwater, fly, bait, and spinning - who want the clearest possible instructions on how to tie all the essential knots that hold."
