LUREMAKING: THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SPINNERBAITS, BUZZBAITS, JIGS, AND OTHER LEADHEADS. By A.D. Livingston.

1969 1st edition. 8vo (141 x 215mm). Pp168. B/w photographs and line illustrations. Grey-blue cloth, spine titled in metallic green. D/w price, versatile of all the artificial lures. The Bait Tail is the latest and most productive type of jig. It was first made by the author, and his friend Lou Palma, during the winter of 1960; the two men worked on it for over five years developing it into its present form. ...it consists of a metal head, plus a body and tail composed of soft plastic. It has a single upright hook, an offset eye, and it comes in a great variety of sizes and colours. In its shape it simulates the outline of a typical baitfish. Mr Reinfelder's book will serve as a complete introduction to this new lure. ...Casting, trolling, and jigging from bridge, boat, surf, jetty, river bank, lake pond, or stream are all covered comprehensively." Lots of useful experience and advice form the vehicle for the authors' sales pitch. Photographs by Lefty Kreh, amongst others.
