Tackle and Equipment

Vic Dunaway's Complete Book of Baits, Rigs & Tackle; Vic Dunaway	As you progress in the sport/hobby of fishing you soon learn that things become more complicated than pole+line+hook=fish. I have 3 books on what to use and how to tie the pieces together and this is the best! I haven't completely converted to the Uni-Knot system, but Vic makes a good case for it. I believe this link will take you to new "revised" edition. I still have the older one.
Other books by Vic Dunaway	Best of Waterfront View; Hardcover From Hook to Table; Paperback
Fishermen's Knots, Fishing Rigs, and How to Use Them; Bob McNally	As I recall, this was another good general guide with some excellent illustrations. Unfortunately, I loaned mine out and no longer have a copy to refer back to. I liked it and apparently so did whoever I loaned it to.
Hook, Line and Sinker: The Complete Angler's Guide To Terminal Tackle; Gary Soucie	This book goes into much greater detail about the components that are used to make up your rigs. There are detailed discussions on items such as hooks, swivels and sinkers with reasons for choosing certain types under certain fishing conditions. It is not a substitute for either of the two books above, but makes a useful addition to them.
