This Best of British Baits Supplement is an identification guide to flights, spinners, mounts and bait harnesses. It is produced as a paperback with laminated covers and is illustrated in black and white.
The Best of British Baits is the first in-depth study of artificial baits made in the British Isles. This highly illustrated identification guide is the result of five years' intensive research and traces the history of our lures from Izaac Walton's detailed description of a silk minnow in 1653 through to the 1930s. The book has an introduction and five chapters which cover baits of different time periods: 1710-1877, 1880-1890, 1891-1900, 1901-1910, and 1911-1930. There is also a quick reference guide and index. Patent specifications are used chronologically to mark the development and examine the innovations found in the design of the artificial bait in Great Britain.
