I was at the local library and came across the book Striped Bass Fishing by Frank Woolner and Henry Lyman I have seen other posts about the book, but never came across it. Even though it was written a while ago, it seems to be a classic talking about the history of striped bass,older tackle, bass stands,eels, rigging, tins, and plugs. I have read quite a few other striper books, and really enjoyed reading this one.

that is my favorite book on bass of all time.

It's a great book, picked it up a few years back, the pics are great.

Interesting to read about the times back then and how they handled fish and gaffed everything. Different times

IMHO.. best book ever written on the subject... I have an original hard bound copy that My father gave me in the early 70's and the new revised edition which is a paper back..

great book. picked up a cheap used hard copy on amazon a few years back my fishing library.

I have two copies, the original 1954 edition and a much later second edition. They are both great, but the pictures in the first edition are way better.

Based on this thread I went on line and found a hardbound copy 1954 edition for $10 and ordered it. Hope I get what I hope I'm getting.:)

Meanwhile it's way cheaper that what Jerry Sylvester's book brings...

I snagged Sylvester and 4 or 5 other old classics for $5 on Ebay. I loaned Sylvester out, thanks for reminding me I need to get it back.

Not bad for a guy who doesn't like computers.
