THE FOX GUIDE TO CARP RIGS.

2004 1st edition. A5 paperback (150 x 210mm). Pp114. Colour photographs and illustrations throughout. Black card covers.

A useful guide despite reading, quite understandably, like a Fox catalogue. "...in this unique book, Fox reveal some of the secrets of successful carp fishing. The book starts with a look back at some of the rigs used when carp fishing was in its infancy, and some of the more basic principles of rig design, before moving on to more complex methods. Included within the pages are comprehensive details on feature finding and determining the nature of the ground you are fishing over - as well as rig suggestions for each scenario. Each rig has a full step-by-step sequence on 'how to tie it' with full colour images and illustrations. In one chapter Frank Warwick details his approach to snag fishing. The Fox Guide to Carp Rigs is an invaluable guide for any carp angler". Contributions from several well-known carp anglers though no overall author or editor is given. The foreword is by Max Cottis. Chapters include: Rigs, where did it all begin?; Feature finding; Understanding the lake bed; Rigs that will give you the advantage; Lead systems and carp safety; Snag fishing; Caring for your catch.
