Antique Fishing Tackle

Though somebody might enjoy my other passion also, Antique or Vintage fishing tackle.
Here are just a few of my collection.

Very cool man!!!

I like that Shakespeare lure in the bottom picture!

I've collected for 33 years, but just sold most of it about a year and a half ago... $2300...

Old pieces of drift wood, I pushed the hooks into.
When I was heavily into fishing,
Before I became addicted to dirt fishing

Great collection! I was a serious angler, when I lived closer to water, and didn't have as many hobbies. Still love to fish, as well. I had a nice little collection of reels and lures.

Thanks Birddog, This is just a very small sample of that particular obsession, lol. I have well over 1000 vintage lures and 200 reels,

I was hoping to pass them on to my son, but he is autistic and will unfortunately (never say never) probably won't ever get into that type of collection...

Tough times call for tough action, it was all sold to a friend, I'm sure he would sell it back to me only, if I ever wanted...

I love that stuff, just a roof comes first...

Those are the pictures of what I sold...

I still have some really nice pieces I'm hoping to die with...

Probably been collecting since I was 11 (so 32 years), grandpa's lures, and my older lures just didn't look as cool, so I started setting them away, soon after, I caught a bug for them.. That was even before the prices went up. Garage sales, $10 for a whole box of stuff...

More about real life memories for me now...

I can really see how a guy could get “hooked” on collecting this stuff

Cool collections guys!

Great pics! Many Memories of un-ravelling a birds nest out of those old reels! Old spring steel poles like a fencing saber! Oh Boy could you whip some @ss with one of those! :laughing:

Then, here comes the Zebco 202 and its like Magic! Many of us I'm sure have tried to make our own lures...some not bad actually...out of metal or wood or tying flies using the dogs hair even! When I was 10, with the help of my Dog George, and some sewing thread, I came up with a fly called the 'Poodle Popper', that just killed gills on the beds! :laughing:

I like watching Larry Dahlbergs lure making and fishing vids with his Whopper Plopper...Those danged Muskies are all over that one!.....That one new Umbrella rig is pretty slick too...

I really love old fishing equipment. I don't really collect it much, just a few reels, and some old lures as I come across them. The collections in the pics above are over the top cool. Congrats and well done on your collections.
