Summary

Open a fishing supplies catalog and you are faced with a bewildering array of rods, reels, lines, flies, plugs and countless other items. Equally puzzling, there are usually no words of explanation about whether or not these items are suitable for you, except for the "techno jargon" that makes sense only to the expert and the advertising "fluff" that makes sense to no one.
How then does the novice angler know what kind of tackle is appropriate for a particular situation? What items are essential, which ones are optional? And where can one obtain further information about products as well as the full range of fishing opportunities available?
The Ultimate Fishing Guide is your one-stop source for information about freshwater and saltwater fishing products, services, organizations and more. This book describes and explains what types of tackle, accessories and clothing are available - and what their functions are. There are bibliographies of books and magazines, descriptions of gamefish species and sources for angling vacations throughout the U.S. and abroad. Also included are first aid and safety tips, schedules of fishing tournaments, lists of manufacturers and mail order supply houses - that range from such well-known firms as Orvis, L. L. Bean, Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop to specialty outfits - and other information that is invaluable to the angler.
Like a knowledgeable guide leading you through unfamiliar terrain to the best fishing spots, The Ultimate Fishing Guide is your comprehensive yet user-friendly source for everything you need to know about fishing.
