Review title: Outdated, some useful fundamentals
Product review: While the book contains tried-and-true tactics that will always work, it is outdated and not thorough enough. No mention, for example, on dropshot, splitshot, or swimbait techniques. Very brief mention of casting techniques, and nothing about pitching. All of the B&W photos look like the fishermen were going to a screening of "Saturday Night Fever" once they got off the lake. The book was "updated" by Mark Hicks, who never hesitates to include photos and stories of himself, a no-no in the unwritten rules of authors. I should have spent my money on Roland Martin's or Van Dam's books.
