First edition.
It was as long ago as the turn of the century that the idea of using a baited spoon first aroused John Garrad's interest. As a means of catching fish it was then unheard of by the great body of anglers, and he decided to put it to the test. Somewhat to his surprise he found it worked, and from that time onwards he has experimented almost ceaselessly with every sort of baited spoon and spinner. With the true enthusiast's attention to detail he kept precise records of trials, failures and successes, and in this book he draws briefly on the first two and lengthily on the last.

Even as recently as ten years ago, the interest in a book such as this would have been restricted to only a handful of readers. Few knew anything about baited lures and, anyway, the methods recommended applied almost solely to flounder fishing. The situation now, however, is quite different. The baited spoon now catches many species of fish and because of this there is a lively and growing interest in it all .over the country.

Because of his fifty years of unbroken experiment, John Garrad is the acknowledged authority on all matters relating to baited spoon fishing, and in his book he tells us all that is known of this most interesting and successful method.
