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
Thanks for the tip. People get caught up in the latest and greatest artificial baits and forget how well the real thing works. :D
so right you are...the old time stuff always works better!Quote:

I seldom use real bait even for Bream, but Catfishing is a different thing. You would be suprized how may Catfish I catch a year as by catch with jigs.
I have several books from that series,not sure about the live bait book.I have read the book though,maybe from the library.
The old ways work well for this old man. Thank you for the tip.
We have all been down this road before. When the fad had worn off we come back to the old tried a true. Look bait fishing is so good it is outlawed in some part in a lot of states. I believe that Yellowstone Park is strictly artificial.
Hey, I have that book. it's great, has color illustations, tells how to catch your bait for free, hooking instructions, and storing live bait.
Has anyone ever read Lunkers love nightcrawlers?...another great book

Found a copy of fishing with live bait on ebay, I ordered it, cannot wait to read it.....thanks for post
Amazon has new & used copies of this going from amounts as little as a penny all they way up to "stupid". Been several printings of it with different covers. Latest one looks to be from 1996. Think I'm going to check this out on my local inter-library loan program first.
That guy's got my avatar!!! I'm the only pothole junkie around here!! :)
I’ve checked that one out and it’s a good book, BUT try out another older book by Harold F. Blaisdell called The Art of Fishing with Worms and Other Live Bait, it even has a Chapter on Spinner making using the Netcraft ( Now Janns) Spinner tool, and the other chapter is on how to tie the Snell Knot and it helps you learn how to make Worm Gangs.
The Lunkers Love Nightcrawlers book is excellent!!!!!!! I have the original one and the updated one, and the information in it is still current and works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another good book is Angler's Guide to Jigs and Jigging by Kenn Oberricht
