For the last 30 years, Mick Brown has immersed himself in everything to do with freshwater predatory fish. He has fished extensively for all of the major species, and has travelled throughout the UK, Scandinavia, mainland Europe and Canada to further his knowledge and experience. He has set out and succeeded in mastering every technique used for catching predators and innovated many of his own ideas.

This is why he has been Fox International’s Predator Consultant for 14 years. Being a qualified mechanical engineer, he is ideally positioned to help assist in the specification, design and development of all predator related products.

This book has been designed to convey much of Mick’s accumulated knowledge to fellow predator anglers. He does this in such a logical way that guides newcomers and improvers through the maze of modern day tackle and techniques to help them catch more fish. Importantly, he encourages the reader to think and adapt their ideas, rather than blindly copy them. There is so much in this book that will encourage you to want to go predator fishing and help you gain confidence through steadily building your knowledge and experience. Above all, you will enjoy fishing for predators when you realise that the knowledge that you can acquire from this book will help you not only to succeed with catching predators but also to treat them with care and respect.
