"With so many methods at an angler's disposal it's very difficult for many carp anglers to understand what to use and when to use it. [This book] helps to demonstrate exactly how to get the best from a huge number of methods. [The author] himself has extensive experience combating big fish venues but is equally at home ...on heavily stocked and pressured day ticket venues. It's this experience that makes the contents of this book so valuable to the reader and will help people of all abilities to convert time on the bank onto fish in the net. ...This is a must read for any carp angler irrespective of experience."
