If you’re sick of being stuck indoors, like most anglers in the UK this winter, then this e-book may be just the ticket. It’s a guide to making your own fishing lures and, being a digital book, you can buy it and download it within seconds of clicking the links here.
At the time of writing, the book was $9.95 USD. With the exchange rate at the moment, that’s about a fiver in sterling….or a pint and a half of lager at my local pub! Not only do you get instant access to the book, but the author is also offering six ‘freebies’ to tempt you to part with your cash.
The author has also created a detailed sales pitch page, so rather than just waffle on about it here, I’ll leave you with a few bullet points from that and, if you want to find out more, just follow the links;
