Bass Literature

[Hula_King]

My friend's birthday is coming up, and I'm looking for a book on bass fishing for him.  I'm looking for something that's beyond the basic beginner level.  I'd like it to have diagrams on rigging and using certain lures and  techniques on locating bass.  Anyway, what do you all recommend?  I'd like it to really focus on the two things I mentioned.  Is it possible to get all this indepth info in one book, or will a combination of several work?  Thanks for your help ahead of time.

I am not sure about books, but maybe a subscription to Bassmaster, FLW, or Bassin magazine.

I read this book when I fisrt started getting more serious about bass fishing.  It's a great read, entertaining, and most of all informative.

Check out in fisherman's website. Al Lindner wrote one of the best books on bass fishing. It should still be there for sale.

Several pieces of literature I can reccomend.  

Best 2 magazines for advanced anglers by far are Inside LIne and Bass West

Best books that I have read were Kevin Van Dam's book as well as Bill Siemantel's BIG BASS book.  Both of those are great reads.

I look forward to every month that my Bassmaster comes in the mail!  Pretty good tips/tricks/news in there.

Maybe there are several books for advanced fishermen, but regardless of your level, In-Fisherman's "Largemouth" & "Smallmouth" books are a must read. They are the very best "bass" books I have ever read.

I have also read "Largemouth Bass: An In-Fisherman Handbook of Strategies"  There is a lot of begginer information in there, but lots of cool stuff.  I have read a few chapters lots of times.  I am getting the Smallmouth Bass book sometime this week.
