This book seems to be based mainly on overseas fishing lures and not Australia. Although it is very helpful in showing basic lure making skills and ideas, I believe the lure styles I wish to find more information about are only touched on in one small section. A good read with lots of colour pictures and even some lure templates. For the price it's worth having a read but don't expect to land that prized fish just yet.
