"The publishers are to be congratulated on producing another * [*Sea Angling with the Baited Spoon, by 'Seangler': 16s.] sea fishing book which deals exclusively with one method of fishing - and one which is becoming increasingly popular. As this book shows, feathering is no longer an almost hand-line technique which a dozen crude feathered lures at the business end. It has developed into a skilful method of sea fishing in which many species of sea fish can be caught". From a contemporary press review.
