Customer Reviews

Great Information, Wonderful stories

I had stood for many minutes over several visits at our local outdoor store reading individual chapters of this book before actually buying it. I'm still not completely finished reading it, but it is a wonderful and easy read because, as the other reviewer said, all the articles were originally written for a magazine. Each chapter includes a story of when the technique described was first 'discovered' by the author, and then an explanation on why it worked. True, they do not give rigging illustrations, but there are a lot of other illustrations on where and how to fish, how to retrieve, etc. and the text makes up for what the lack of illustrations leave out. I would recommend The Complete Guide to Freshwater Fishing (The Freshwater Angler) or something similar, for rigging illustrations. Finally, I really like this book because it covers both largemouth and smallmouth bass techniques. That's difficult to find these days.

Big-Bass Secrets is a Great Resource

Bass fisherman will find this book, which is a compilation of articles from Outdoor Life magazine, well-written and informative. Covers a variety of bassing techniques, as well as, some modifications to those techniques. The authors are experienced and knowledgeable fisherman. Have added the techniques described to my approach and have caught more fish. Which is the bottomline. My only criticism, keeping this book from a 5-star rating, is the lack of rigging illustrations or diagrams.
