Making Fishing Tackle as a Hobby

Published in 1962, the author explains how to build and customise your own fishing tackle at home – “not only to save money, but also because it is an interesting pastime that most anglers will enjoy”. Brotherton describes the tools, materials and techniques needed to create items such as nets, line-dryers and fly-tying vices, as well as lures, floats, indicators and other small fishing accessories such as fly boxes, tackle boxes, hook wallets, swivelled leger-leaders, rod rests, sinkers, etc. It includes diagrams and illustrations that guide readers step-by-step through the process. B&w drawings throughout. Good, sturdy condition. Hardcover, 21.5cm x 14.7cm, 120 pages.
