Hello,

I'm looking for a book that covers the topic of this thread's title.  I can't find much on the web.  I'd like a comprehensive guide to baitcaster development from, say, the introduction of the Ambassadeur in the '60s to the modern designs.  Something to read and study until the river goes down and the ice melts off the lake.

Has anyone written such a book?

Regards,

Josh

I haven't seen a book with that scope - it would be an interesting read.

If you want to define the "modern baitcaster" as beginning with the Ambassadeur - it wasn't the "'60s"...it was the early 1950s.

If you don't have any yet, especially since you seem to be a big Ambassadeur fan, you should consider getting one or more of Simon Shimomura's books.

Dude writes books?  Heck, I thought he was just a feller I occasionally bought stuff from on eBay.
