A must for all anglers new to Pole Fishing
I have been looking for a book to take me through the steps of pole fishing - this IS the one! Bob takes you through the process in clear and easy to undertand steps with photographs and diagrams. The book is slit into many sections - buying your pole, making your rigs though to catching and landing that dream double figure Carp. A must book!

New to Subject - Perfect introduction
I bought this book to get some basic information on pole & whip fishing. I have fished with rod reel & line for many years and always thought pole fishing a bit cumbersome but decided I ought to give it a go and wanted detailed advice on tackle, setting up and rigs. I tried the DVD's which were available and they were interesting but concentrated on techinque rather than technology.
This book gave me everything I expected from it with a wealth of detail in a fairly small book. Unlike a previous reviewer, I thought it was exactly as described and I did not notice any blatant advertising - indeed the recommended products included a range of manufacturers
I found the Question and Answer section particularly useful and found information I had been trying to find for some time about setting up tackle for whip fishing

Strongly recommended

My first return to Amazon in over four years
I returned this book to Amazon with the following message: Although nicely presented, the topic of this book is of a very specific area, something that is not immediately clear to any beginner online. I am also irritated by the fact that the book is like a continuous advertisement for the tackle company Bob Nudd uses, and for Bob Nudd himself, who stares back at you in various contrived poses on perhaps every page. While I would probably admit that this book may be perfect for those taking up pole fishing (see great review above), this is one of the rare books that I really don't want to own, even despite the relatively cheap price. I'm more interested in fishing than I am in famous fishermen.
