The Knot Tying Bible, Colin Jarman
Every angler should have one of these. This brilliant little book is a practical reference to tying more than 60 of the most commonly used knots, bends and hitches.
Full of clear step-by-step illustrations, each knot is organised by its physical properties rather than its technical name, making it quick and easy to find the best knots for the job at hand: www.fireflybooks.com
Scratching the Surface by Paul Garner
‘Scratching the Surface’ brings to life the eventful career to date of top big-fish angler and writer Dr Paul Garner.
The 320 pages and 43 chapters cover the last 30 years of Paul’s specimen fishing which has seen him land some of the most sought-after fish in the UK. From his early days of pond-dipping, to becoming a teen carp addict, and later adventures spent both at home and abroad in search of monsters in both fresh and saltwater, the book is far more than just a compendium of angling tales – it also covers Paul’s academic studies of freshwater fisheries and a career in the fishing tackle industry.
All books can be supplied signed and dedicated with the text of your choice.
