Can any of you members recommend what would be your top half dozen how to fishing books for someone with a basic knowledge of fishing, but wants to learn more about different hardware rigging. I guess I should add I'm looking Continental U.S. fresh water. I've fished nearly all my life, usually using a simple rig with good old american earth worms for bait. I know there are probably too many artificial as well as natural bait rigs to count just looking for some sources that might help a guy get up to speed on some of the more comment arrangements. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Try Infisherman magazine's web page. They have published some decent fishing books over the years.

Joe Butcher's Crankbait Secrets is a must read fir EVERYONE no matter what your experience level is. I have read mine multiple times, and still pick up things I missed.
