Supernatural

Yeah, new terms is exactly what I had in mind. By the way, is it a just a myth, or fishing with spinning is still very unpopular in the UK?

One more question: since this book that bluerinse has pointed out was published in 1966, I assume the information is quite obsolete by today's standards, so tell me, where do you get all the terms from? Websites? If yes, please indicate the best, most reliable ones. Thanks in advance.

The length depends on location (stillwater, river) and the fish you' re aiming at.

What exactly do you mean by saying "decent fish"? An 8lbs line is an 8lbs line, you won't land heavier fish that's over its breaking strain. And yeah, terry is right, you don't need bait runner if you're going to hold the rod and watch the tip, otherwise you will also need a bite indicator e.g. swinger or whatever you call those thingies.

Richard, I've googled the book and only found sites selling it. I haven't checked torrents though, but I don't think I'll find it for dowload.

I'm Lithuanian, but I'm also good at Russian too, since the majority replied that they didn't know the type of dictionary I was looking for, I thought that billingual (English-Russian) dictionary would be quite ok too, but what suits my needs best is a monolingual (English) publication. Thanks for the information, Richard, I' ll try searching the net for the book and I'll let you know the results ASAP.

I see. I'll have to talk to my supervisor about this. Now, in order not to create another thread, I'll be asking all fishing term related things here, ok? So here's one: could you explain the difference between a "whip" and a "pole"? Here's how I see it: "whip" fishing is using a rod without rings, no reel, up to 23? ft. long, with one ring or a connector (not sure how this is called in English) at the tip and a "whip" is usually telescopic, whereas a "pole" is much much longer ( up to 60 ft.?) and it's not telescopic, but, how shall I put this, consists of "put over, put in"? sections and has an elastic attached to the topkit, no rings, no reel.

Thanks a million, another thing I wanted to know: maybe there are smaller dictionaries for a particular type of fishing e.g. fly fishing, pole fishing, carp fishing etc., and what about encyclopaedias? I just can't believe there isn't a general English dictionary of fishing terms . And what concerns 'The Great Glossary' thread here, would it be ok, if I used the info there? I promise to give full reference, I'm not goint to plagiarize. Oh and I guess I'll be needing a lot of help from people on this forum, so expect topics like "could you explain this term".

Come on, guys, I really need your help. Perhaps I should have indicated the purpose of this thread in my first post. I'm from Lithuania, a country near the Baltic sea and I've just got a BA in English Philology, now I'm studying Translation (MA) and my MA thesis is a compilation of terms, a small dictionary if you like. Being a die-hard angler myself, I decided to compile a bilingual (English-Lithuanian) dictionary of fishing terms and I need a starting point, a base what concerns fishing terms, i.e. I need an authoritative publication (e.g. dictionary, encyclopaedia) of fishing terms in English (British English would be even better).

Greetings, fellow fishermen, I'm new here so sorry, if someone has posted this before, but I wanted to ask, if you know any good fishing dictionaries, something you could call the father of all fishing term glossaries; officialy released, not just lists of terms on random websites? Billingual (e.g. English-Russian ) will do too, thanks in advance.
