THE FIN-NOR STORY IS ONE OF ENORMOUS FISHES, EXOTIC PLACES, LEGENDARY CHARACTERS AND MECHANICAL WIZARDRY. CELEBRATED AS THE "ROLLS ROYCE OF BIG GAME FISHING REELS," FIN-NOR EMERGED IN THE 1930'S OUT OF THE HOTBED OF MIAMI'S EMERGING FISHING SCENE, SETTING AN AMAZING 381 WORLD BIG GAME FISHING RECORDS, INCLUDING THE LARGEST BLACK MARLIN AND SWORDFISH EVER CAUGHT ON ROD AND REEL.

BUT FIN-NOR: THE LEGACY YEARS IS MORE THAN THE HISTORY OF THE REEL THAT BECAME KNOWN AS THE "GOLD STANDARD" OF SALTWATER REELS. IT'S THE TALE OF A "PERFECT STORM" OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEADS TO FIN-NOR'S DEVELOPMENT OUT OF AN OBSCURE MIAMI BOAT ENGINE REPAIR SHOP.

SPORTSMAN-CONSERVATIONISTS FUELED THE PURSUIT, AND LITERARY LEGENDS LIKE ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND ZANE GREY PUBLICIZED IT.

FIN-NOR'S STORY IS A FASCINATING SLICE OF TIME FROM A BYGONE ERA WITH APPEAL FOR ANGLERS AND NON-ANGLERS ALIKE. METICULOUSLY RESEARCHED AND COMPELLINGLY SHARED, OUTDOOR JOURNALIST BRUCE MATTHEWS AND ANTIQUE TACKLE COLLECTOR ED PRITCHARD TAKE US ON A JOURNEY ALONGSIDE LEGENDARY ANGLERS IN THEIR QUEST FOR A REEL THAT WOULD HELP THEM CAPTURE THE LARGEST FISHES THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

AS YOU WILL READ, HOLDING A FIN-NOR REEL IN THEIR HANDS TODAY, AN ANGLER OR COLLECTOR IS CONNECTED TO A VIBRANT LEGACY EVOLVED THROUGH THE VISION AND DETERMINATION OF MANY OF THE GREATEST BIG GAME ANGLERS AND CONSERVATIONISTS — WOMEN AND MEN — THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN

ANGLING AND WAR: THE COLLISION OF BIG GAME FISHING AND WWII by Mike Rivkin- The fascinating & untold story of how the newly-emerging sport of big-game fishing was plunged headlong into World War II. That big-game fishing was severely impacted by the war is no surprise, but the contributions of the angling community to the Allied war effort were equally vast. The story of how each impacted the other is both surprising & compelling, & here it is. Color photos; 9x12 inches, 260 pgs.


During the 1930s, big-game fishing emerged from obscurity to become the new passion of American sportsmen. By decade's end, the capture of gigantic fish on the flimsiest of tackle had become the stuff of front page news. Suddenly ... war.

This is the fascinating and untold story of how the newly-emerging sport of big-game fishing was plunged headlong into the defining event of the 20th century: World War II. That big-game fishing was severely impacted by the war is no surprise, but the contributions of the angling community to the Allied war effort were equally vast. The story of how each impacted the other is both surprising and compelling, and here it is.

Carefully researched and delightfully written, Angling and War includes more than 260 pages and hundreds of heretofore unpublished photos, documents, and illustrations from all over the world. The book begins with the sudden emergence of big-game fishing in the 1930s and concludes with a look at the wartime-related technologies and adventures that sparked a veritable explosion in postwar angling. Incredible stories of both angler/authors and angler/warriors add richness and life to this remarkable tale, including a special foreword by legendary pioneer Alfred C. Glassell, Jr., whose catch of a 1,560 lb black marlin is the largest tackle record of this species for more than 50 years.

Other topics covered in depth include the following:
* Landmark angling institutions such as The Tuna Club of Santa Catalina Island and the British Tunny Club
* Wartime angling at home and overseas
* Development of a critical Emergency Fishing Kit that saved hundreds of lives
* How American boatbuilders helped win the war
* Vast efforts to send angling gear to the front lines
* The evolution of tackle: from linen to dacron, from bamboo to fiberglass.
…and much more!

Sport Fish of Florida Book

Sport Fish of Florida by Vic Dunaway The good, the bad, the ugly--for the very first time, they're all here together in a book of their own, a book that illustrates and describes virtually every kind of fish an angler in Florida--or the Bahamas or Caribbean Islands--could expect to find on the end of a line.

In this book you'll find the scoop on every hook-and-line species from the mightiest Marlin to the lowliest Lizardfish, along with advice on how to catch each one and how good it is to eat.

Because it's designed as a practical guide for fishermen, every effort has been made to keep biological jargon at bay. However, there is one nod to the world of science that is unavoidable--the inclusion of scientific names so that each of the species can be definitely pinpointed. Without scientific names, confusion would reign, because most species are known by more than one common name and, in many cases, two or more different species share the same common name.

It would have been nice to sort the species by their preferred environment--offshore, inshore, reef, flats or whatever. But as fishermen realize all too well, fish have tails and can swim where they please. The same kind of fish you catch on a flat today and in a bridge channel tomorrow may well strike your bait out on the deep reef next weekend. The constant element of surprise is one of the most appealing aspects of angling in this great area.

Alphabetical and strictly scientific classifications would have other drawbacks, so it was decided to use a mixed system that lets the species fall into whatever groupings would be natural. Most of the chapters cover a particular family of fishes. Some, however, deal with species that are not related but have certain habits or attributes in common. All are listed in a complete index at the end of the book.

Covers just about any species of fish that an angler might catch or use for bait in Florida with tips, hints and biological info. 231 illus; 256 pgs.

The Encyclopedia of the Sea- Richard Ellis
From one of the world's leading experts on the sea comes this ocean-sized compendium of aquatic life and lore. Richard Ellis--who is also recognized as America's foremost painter of marine subjects--gives us a masterful synthesis of years of investigation and tens of thousands of disparate sources. The result is the first comprehensive, fully illustrated, and highly readable reference on almost everything that is known about the sea.

Ellis's research has taken him all over the world--from Nantucket to Patagonia, from Newfoundland to New Zealand. Now he leads us on a great journey: from the amazing diversity of the creatures of the oceans to the birds who inhabit the skies above them; from the little-known realms of marine geography to the men and women who have bravely explored them; from the fabulous legends the sea has inspired through the ages to the intriguing evolution of the tools of nautical navigation.

With more than 450 of the author's own drawings and paintings accompanying the text, Ellis reveals the many wonders of the oceans--abalone, zooxanthellae, and everything in between. We learn about the peculiar behavior of Vampyroteuthis infernalis (the "vampire squid from hell") and about Mocha Dick, the real sperm whale that may have inspired Melville's Moby-Dick; where the crown-of-thorns starfish gets its name and how the rare coelacanth, cousin to a species extinct for 70 million years--and one of the most mispronounced fish in the sea--was rediscovered. We visit lovely and exotic locations from Venice to Ni'ihau (Hawaii's "forbidden isle"), and consider both the fearsome kraken (a mythical sea monster often seen by Scandinavian clergymen) and the notorious real-life pirate Captain Kidd (whose hidden treasure was never found).

Exhaustive, concise, and entertaining, the Encyclopedia of the Sea is invaluable as an all-inclusive, one-volume source for anyone interested in the sea, its inhabitants, and man's exploration of its mysteries.

Hemingway on Fishing
Collected for the first time in one volume, are all of Hemingway's great writings about the kinds of fishing he did - from trout in the rivers of northern Michigan to marlin in the Gulf Stream. Full, diverse, & fascinating. B&W photos; 8x10 inches, 272 pgs.


The first book to collect the Nobel Prize winning author’s writing about one of his greatest passions.

EXCERPT
What did I know best that I had not written about and lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most? There was no choice at all. —Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast, on starting to write about fishing

Throughout his life, Ernest Hemingway was an avid fisherman. He fished the lakes and creeks near the family’s summer home at Walloon Lake, Michigan, and his first stories and reportage were often about his favorite sport. Here, collected for the first time in one volume, are all of his great writings about the many kinds of fishing he did—from trout in the rivers of northern Michigan to marlin in the Gulf Stream.

In A Moveable Feast, Hemingway speaks of sitting in a café in Paris and writing about what he knew best—and when it came time to stop he “did not want to leave the river”; the story was the unforgettable classic, Big Two-Hearted River, and from its first words we do not want to leave the river either. He also wrote articles for the Toronto Star on fishing in Canada and Europe and, later, articles for Esquire about his growing passion for big-game fishing. His last books, The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream, celebrate his vast knowledge of the ocean and his affection for its great denizens.

Hemingway on Fishing is a full, diverse, and fascinating collection of the great novelist’s writing about fishing. From the early Nick Adams stories and the memorable chapters on fishing the Irati River in The Sun Also Rises to such late novels as Islands in the Stream, this collection traces the evolution of a great writer’s passion; the range of his interests; and the sure uses he made of fishing, transforming it into the stuff of great literature.

So, it's no surprise that much of his work was devoted to his favorite sport, from his early reportage in The Toronto Star to one of his last novels, The Old Man and the Sea.

Anglers and lovers of great writing alike will welcome this important collection. Edited and with an introduction by Nick Lyons.

Complete Book of Fishing Knots by Geoffrey Budworth  A well-tied knot can mean the difference between success and failure for fishermen—and nothing is more frustrating to an angler than losing the prize of a day or of a lifetime because of carelessness or an ill-chosen knot. The Complete Book of Fishing Knots contains easy-to-follow expert instruction for all fishermen on how to tie eighty important knots.

Clear color illustrations guide you step-by-step through the various stages of tying each knot correctly and provide the assurance that it will hold. All knots have specific uses for the fisherman—to attach fly or lure to line, leader to leader, leader to line, line to backing, and scores of others. Thus the well-versed fisherman of any sort, fresh- or saltwater, will want to understand the best way to tie such knots as the Cinch, the Improved Cinch, the Blood Knot, the Albright Knot, the popular and reliable Surgeon’s Knot, and such complex knots as the Bimini Twist, as well as many others.

In addition to its state-of-the-art knot-tying techniques, the book contains a comprehensive glossary of terms to guide all fishermen through the complexities of the different types of materials and how to join them.

Megalops: An Affair with Tarpon- Tosh Brown

 From Key West to Belize to Venezuela, the author has passionately and unceasingly pursued this big-eyed behemoth of the Atlantic. As the young owner of a fledgling sporting travel business, Tosh had the good fortune of visiting some of the most productive tarpon waters of the world and fishing with some of the best guides in the business. This is his insightful and often humorous account of chasing the Silver King with a fly rod, along with some discussion of the storied history of the tarpon fishery along his native Texas coast, particularly the legendary tarpon destination, Port Aransas.

This new Meadow Run Press book is illustrated with a full-color section of the author's stunning photographs along with some never before seen photographs of some spectacular early tarpon fishing. Mixed throughout are some interesting observations on the difficulty in casting to and hooking and releasing tarpon - often as large as the angler - from a small outboard skiff. This book is a pure delight and a jewel in any saltwater fisherman's library.

Advanced Custom Rod Building by Dale Clemens-  This best selling book has been completely updated, revised, and expanded. Everything from beginning to end was re-evaluated. The newest improved methods are described and much new material has been added. Basically, the book has been rewirtten and delves deeply into advanced techniques for every conceivable type of rod.

A basic understanding is given on how graphite and fiberglass blanks are made. A detailed section follows on how you can modify action and predict results when trimming blanks. Separate chapters cover Reel Seats, Grips and Handles, and Handle Assemblies. Between them, every functional (as well as cosmetic) aspect of handles is covered. There are a lot of new and valuable techniques in this section that will teach you how to make outstanding custom rods.

Complete and current data is given on all the well-known guides, including Vicker's Hardness and thermal conductivity of all ring materials. The author personally weighed every guide (in grains) and measured the height of the ring above the blank, the inside ring diameter, and the length of the guide feet (degree of restrictiveness imparted to the rod). All of this extremely important information is present in tables, so that you can creatively design the action of a particular blank as explained in the text.

Because wrapping is so popular, step-by-step instructions for advanced wraps have been given. Covered are multi-thread guide wraps, single thread inlays, "amazing wraps", etc. Even more detail is provided on decorative butt wraps and a partial list would include:
* Double Diamonds
* Multiple Chevrons
* Single Four Diamonds
* Line of Diamonds
* Split Center Diamonds
* Snakeskin Patterns
* Tartan Plaids
* Maltese Cross
* How to weave a name in thread

An entire chapter explains all sorts of rod building tools that you can make. A few of these are: Rod wrapping jigs, roller assemblies, thread tension devices, powered wrappers and rod building lathes.
