For every angler who has felt the electrifying jolt of a line pulling taut and heard the shriek of a reel spinning at full pace, The Scream of the Reel captures that primal thrill in vivid, authoritative prose. Edited by Jack Pollard, this comprehensive anthology chronicles the full spectrum of angling in Australian and New Zealand waters — from the rolling swells of deep-sea fishing and the windswept drama of beach casting, to the quiet patience demanded by estuary and inland waterways. It presents a richly detailed portrait of the fish, the techniques, and the landscapes that define a uniquely Antipodean sporting tradition, drawing on the expertise of seasoned anglers who know these waters intimately. Beyond its practical scope, the collection stands as a celebration of fishing culture in the Southern Hemisphere, weaving together sporting instruction, natural history, and regional identity into a single, cohesive volume. Pollard's editorial hand unifies a diverse range of voices and styles, illustrating both the scientific and the deeply personal dimensions of the pursuit. Whether one is a weekend enthusiast or a lifelong devotee of the sport, this volume raises the compelling question: what secrets still lurk beneath the surface of these vast and storied waters?
