Ultralight Spin-Fishing

A Practical Guide for Freshwater & Saltwater Anglers

Peter F. Cammann

In this first comprehensive guide to ultralight, professional fishing guide Peter Cammann tells all you'll need to know. He presents the latest information on rod materials, reel gear ratios, post-monofilament lines, lures, and every other type of equipment-and how to buy it. An illustrated chapter describes clearly the casts an ultralight angler must master.

Offers invaluable tips on:

  • Luring brook trout from under overhanging banks

  • Feeling the tick of a bass taking your ultralight jig

  • Reacting to a salmon's 60 mph run

  • Placing your bluefish lure over the crest of a breaking wave

  • Choosing lures for selective-feeding barracuda

  • And much more
  • "The new generation of featherweight tackle works magic on both fresh- and saltwater fish-some you probably never dreamed of catching on gear so light. Peter Cammann tells you why and how in a learned and entertaining tour."
    —Jerry Gibbs, fishing editor, Outdoor Life
