The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with the information needed to produce a range of traditional fishing tackle items that not only work, but look good too. There can be a lot of satisfaction in using traditional fishing tackle and methods, and if you are using tackle that you have made yourself, the satisfaction can be that much more. For anglers who would like to use traditional fishing tackle but are on a restricted budget, the techniques described in this book can help to save many pounds over the cost of buying ready made items. If you only make a couple of cane rod rests or a handful of quill floats, the money you save will more than cover the cost of this book.
