The Complete Book of Rod Building and Tackle Making

Makes A Great Gift!

By C. Boyd Pfeiffer

Since its first edition in 1993, The Complete Book of Tackle Making has been the reference of choice for builders of fine tackle and casual craftsmen alike. It’s saved countless anglers thousands of dollars, and now, with this new edition, it will continue to serve as an invaluable guide for years to come.

Twenty-seven chapters and helpful appendixes include everything readers need to know about tools, spinners, bucktails, jigs, sinkers, plastic lures and plugs, wire leaders, painting and finishing methods, basic and advanced rod building, basic and decorative wraps, necessary knots and splices, tackle care and repair, suppliers and manufacturers, and much more. More than eight hundred photographs and clear, step-by-step instruction make this the ultimate reference for the tackle tinkerer.
