WILF 51,485 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I first got this book when it was first released and it was what got me into carp fishing, fell to bits over time so I have just picked up a signed copy reprint for £35 and I must say this book just don't get old. It's still as relevant today as when it first came out, in fact only now can you appreciate how far ahead of its time this book was. Cheers Quote Link to post

northern lad 2,293 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 ive still got pike fishing in the eighties by fickling and predator becomes prey.still using the same rigs too.pike fishing hasnt changed much compared to the carp scene,although i think carp are credited with far more inteligence than they actually have most new rigs are designed to get people in tackle shops imo 1 Quote Link to post
