Tony Orman is one of New Zealand most respected and prolific angling writers with at least eighteen published books to his name. His first book Trout with Nymph has become a classic in New Zealand angling literature.

Many a New Zealand angler has started out as a youngster with spinning gear before moving "up" to the fly rod. In Spin Fishing in New Zealand Tony demonstrates that there is a great deal more to spin fishing than simply casting a bit of hardware and hoping. Tony shows that to be consistently successful with spin fishing gear requires both skill and ability.

Tony covers all the basics from selecting the your rod and reel, how to use it, where to fish and even how to fish a fly on your spinning outfit. The book also covers lake and stream fishing, chasing salmon, as well as spin fishing for sea species like kahawai and snapper.

Spin Fishing in New Zealand is a must for those wishing to improve their success rate with spinning gear. Interestingly this book seems hardly to have dated at all since being written almost twenty years ago. Allan Burgess
