Synopsis

Casting Tackle And Methods by Onnie Warren Smith. This two-part angling manual blends tackle knowledge with practical fish-catching techniques. The author, an experienced bass angler and Outdoor Life contributor, surveys bait-casting gear from rod choices (split-bamboo, bethabara solid wood, steel) to reel histories (Snyder, Meek, Milam) and mounting details (ferrules, guides, reel-seats). Part I covers Casting Tackle And Methods, detailing rod materials, joint configurations, and the care of reels, plus lures, housing the tackle, and repair kits. Part II presents methods, including a First Lesson in Casting, Landing Tools and How to Use Them, Fishing a Wadeable Stream, Fishing a River from a Boat, Shore Casting, Casting After Dark, Lake Casting from a Boat, Spoons and How to Cast Them, and Trollling for Bass, with emphasis on accuracy, patience, and knowledge of fish behavior. Throughout, the author stresses practical testing, conservative equipment choices, and the joy of sport over gear, inviting readers to learn by doing and to respect angling traditions.
