Walleye & Northern Pike

About the Book

Anyone can fill their tackle box with quality lures and probably catch fish…when the fishing is good. But the person who takes the time to learn a few facts about the fish that he is angling for and knows how to use this knowledge in a variety of situations and on unfamiliar lakes, will be the person who catches fish when others don’t. From simple monofilament lures for Walleye, to deadly in-line wire spinners for Northern Pike; Walleye & Northern Pike will not only walk you through the steps enabling you to produce your own quality tackle at a fraction of the cost of retail but will give you tips and info on when and why to use certain sizes and colors. If the only thing you learn from this book is to choose your spinner baits with reference to the time of day, the water clarity or overcast conditions, your success on the water will improve immensely. It’s nice to be able to produce spinner baits below retail cost, but if you don’t know why or when to use certain ones, your ability to catch fish will be greatly dependent on luck…
