"Bottom or Float-Fishing" is a comprehensive guide to float fishing, which is a mode of angling that uses a fishing float. A fishing float is a piece of angling equipment that is normally fixed to a fishing line. It can suspend the bait at a certain depth, carry the baited hook to specific areas of water, and also serve as a visual bite indicator. This vintage guide contains a wealth of invaluable information for those with an interest in float fishing, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage angling literature. Contents include: "Fine-Fishing", "Bottom or Float-Fishing", "Observations on Tackle-Rods", "Reel Lines for Bottom-Fishing", "Cut Lines", "Straining Gut", "Straining Hair", "Knots for Lines and Gut", "Hooks", "Winches or Reels", "Floats", "Shot", "Varnishes", "Disgorgers", "Nottingham Fishing and Tackle", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
