(More customer reviews)My wife bought me this book for Christmas, and it helps to reaffirm what I have believed for years: Live bait will always, ALWAYS, outfish artificial lures. If you have a jig that isn't drawing attention, hook a minnow, mealworm, or nightcrawler on it, and the results will probably change quickly. This book goes into a lot of the water temperatures and conditions to take into consideration when using live bait, but I have come to believe, at least in the southern US, there is no time when live bait isn't effective. This book will convince you of the same thing. It's an easy read with lots of pictures, and the print is plenty big enough. Excellent book for beginners, veterans, or live bait doubters.

Live Bait Fishing: Including Doughbait & Scent (The Freshwater Angler)Every kid who ever started fishing probably tried to catch a panfish with a worm. That setup has been the tried-and-true method for generations. There are other kinds of live bait that work just as well; maybe even better in some conditions and for certain fish. In addition to the chapter on Worms & Leeches, this book covers Baitfish, Insects, Salamanders & Frogs, Crustaceans and Other Natural Baits (such as salmon eggs and clams). Complete information on how to catch and keep these baits is followed by sections on how to actually use each live bait type. New on the freshwater-fishing scene in recent years is the use of dough baits and scents. Which one to choose, plus how and when to use each is fully explained. Equipment is discussed in detail: hooks, bobbers, sinkers, rods, and reels. The authors suggest many tips for using different kinds of equipment in various fishing locations and situations. The final chapter matches common freshwater fish species with the best kind of live bait to use, depending on where the fish are and what time of year it is.
