The term 'spinning' is often used to embrace the use of all lures for predatory fish, whether they be plugs, spinners, spoons, jigs, perks, or unclassifiable types. This book considers plugs separately but the whole spectrum of the sport is thoroughly covered, and applied to the different species likely to be regularly caught on lures.

Individual chapters deal with lure fishing in fresh water for pike, perch, zander, chub, sea trout and salmon, and an additional chapter specifically deals with aspects of the use of lures in sea angling. The whole range of necessary tackle is described, whether it be of direct importance (rods, reels, the lures themselves) or peripheral (boats, containers, clothes); every attempt is made throughout the text to say which lures are good and worth buying and why, and there is guidance on making lures and other items of tackle necessary to the keen spinner.

The text is lively, as only direct practical experience can make it, and there are good fishing stories where these have a bearing on the techniques described. The enthusiasm of the authors for their increasingly popular sport will encourage many fishermen to take up this exciting and very productive branch of angling.
