Denny Brauer's Jig Fishing Secrets

Rating:
Summary: Informative, detailed and more
Review: Newcomers to jig fishing are going to learn a lot as well as the experienced angler. This book takes you all the way step by step. The book primarily relates to fliping and pitching, focusing on largemouth fishing. Tournament experiences are used to illustrate details of techniques and conditions on how to apply the jig for it's best potential. The stories and experiences are entertaining as well. This book should be a pleasure to read by any angler.

Summary: Good Book For Beginners
Review: The book is an easy read but the information about jig fishing for bass is rather basic. For the novice bass jig fisherman, I think the book would be very helpful. Appropriate tackle such as line, reels and rods are discussed as well seasonal approaches to jig fishing.

Overall, I thought the book lacked in detailed information. The diagrams and maps were quite rudimentary and Denny Brauer talked quite a bit about how his jig by "Strike King" is superior. Plugging his product prevented him from detailing how different jig designs might be a better choice in specific situations.

If you're an advanced bass fisherman, I can't recommend this book but if you're new to using jigs for bass, this book is a good start.

Review: Watch out for the sales tactics. Ask yourself: "Is Strike King's jig that much better than other jigs?". I admit I fell for the sales pitch and ran out and bought the Strike King jigs that Denny mentions throughout the book but don't get sucked in like I did. I'm sure there's alternative jigs on sale that would work out just as good.
