The best book I have ever seen on bait is called "Fishing With Live Bait". It is put out by the Hunting and Fishing Library and I do not know how to get it new. I bought mine used from Abes Books. This book tell you about almost every know bait in North America from how to use it to how to catch and raise your own. Fantastic information and first class pictures. Best book on the subject that has come along. Highly recommend
