About the Author: Angelo Peluso, has fly fished along the entire East Coast of the United States, as well as other destinations throughout the United States, the Yucatan, the Bahamas, and Canada.
Including advice and input from expert lure designers, scientists, and manufacturers, An Angler\'s Guide to Smart Baits is an essential read for every modern fisherman.
Among the topics he explains, in depth, are: the appeal and purpose of materials used in modern lure construction, including hi-tech, durable plastics, acrylics and other polymers, and new-age finishes that give impressions of life; the modern science of both hard and soft baits; the sensory appeal of modern baits; and how to maximize a bait\'s appeal to yield the most strikes and increase an angler\'s catch ratios.
Peluso takes readers through all the essential elements.
In An Angler\'s Guide to Smart Baits: Tips and Tactics on Fishing Twenty-First Century Artificials, veteran fisherman Angelo Peluso helps to navigate these often unsure waters of modern baits and how to fish them.
With busy lives, it\'s often impossible for anglers to keep up with constantly evolving equipment.
But like almost everything else in our modern era, it too has been greatly influenced by ever-changing technology and scientific advances.
