Excitingly illustrated, the book explains the sport of spinning and tells why spinning with fine tackle produces bigger fish. Although all the latest modern equipment is discussed thoroughly, the author places emphasis on the practical gear which not only saves the angler money but will produce larger fish. Eugene Burns, a graduate of the University of Washington and Harvard University, has been during the short span of 46 years a Professor of English, a Forest and Park Ranger, an Associated Press Foreign and War Correspondent during World War II, a Free Lance Writer and President of The Firelure Corporation in Bakersfield, California.
