5.0 out of 5 stars This has become my Fishing Tackle "bible", September 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Old Fishing Lures & Tackle: Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)

This is the second book I purchased when I started collecting fishing tackle. It is the most comprehensive book I have found yet and is filled with information on the history of the lures. I use it hand-in-hand with Fishing Lure Collectibles by Dudley Murphy and Rick Edmiston. I strongly recommend this book be added to your collection.

By	Irvin Goodman - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Old Fishing Lures & Tackle: Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)

This giant volume (670 pages) will delight any lure and tackle fan. It contains over 2,000 photos with 32 pages (hundreds of items) in full color. Compiled by a real authority. This isn't just a picture/price guide, but it has much valuable and interesting information ranging from history, buying, selling and trading, displaying, organizations and manufacturers. Value ranges are shown. It covers reels, rods, lures, and more. Old ads and photos of packaging are shown. This paper back book weighs almost 4 pounds. It is the 5th (1999) edition of the publication.

This review is from: Old Fishing Lures & Tackle: Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)

THIS BOOK WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. FOUND GRANDAD'S TACKLE BOXES FROM THE 50'S. THIS BOOK ALLOWED ME TO IDENTIFY 98 OUT OF 139 TOTAL LURES, FLIES, AND OTHER ITEMS. (HIS PEACH PIT AND BANDAID WERE NOT LISTED.) THIS BOOK HAS STARTED A HOBBY WHICH I HOPE TO PASS DOWN TO MY CHILDREN. COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THIS MASSIVE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE! THANKS C.F. LUCKEY AND AMAZON.COM!
