Packed with accessible guidance and information, here is all you need to know about the rigs, tackle, and tactics that pave the way to success for every fishing trip. As well as rigs—from stiff, hinged, helicopter, lead core and pop-up—the book assesses the pros and cons of using backleads, plus modern braids, PVA in all its forms, useful knots and crimping, spodding, and baits. All the rigs and ideas are presented in a concise step–by–step format and the sequences are fully illustrated with color photography. The book adds up to the only reference guide to modern carp fishing any keen angler will need.
