In 1997, at the age of 28, he left his job to open a lure and fly specialty store, and more than a quarter century has passed since then. Currently, 70% of the products on offer are bass products, 20% are trout products, and 10% are fly products. The owner of "Ozzy's" has a policy of wanting customers to pick up and check out the rods themselves before making a selection, and so has around 1,000 items on display at all times. Wanting as many people as possible to "experience the depth and joy of true fishing," the owner of "Ozzy's" is sharing for the first time the wealth of knowledge he has acquired through time and experience. This is a collection of "honest talks" from the owner of a fishing tackle store, who is rarely seen in public.
Instead of getting swayed by the abundance of information, questionable common sense and assumptions, and feeling like you've become a better fisherman, we have written easy-to-understand advice to help you get to the essence of fishing through your own thinking and experience, as well as concrete advice for making fishing a deeper and more enjoyable experience.
