Great new book out

Post by john elder »

Mike Farrior has just completed a beautiful book he's written regarding the history of the Avalon Tuna club...it's chock full of fantastic pics and info about reel makers and the early figures in establishing saltwater gamefishing. He also has included pics of some of Dave Gaustad's early casting reels..quite a display! I've dropped in a pic of the form below, but it might not be readable. The address for ordering is

The Tuna Club Foundation
P.O Box 526
Avalon, CA 90704

and their email is ...I would assume you can get more info by contacting them. It's not cheap at appr. $113 delivered (proceeds to be donated to charities on Avalon) , but it is really something special and will be of limited prodution.
