Item #: BK943

Fishing has come a long way from the fishing line tied to a stick with a hook and worm dangling at the end of it. Since then more modern fishing apparatus has been developed like fishing rods, reels, fancy lures...etc. This book outlines the major developments in the design and construction of rods, reels, lines and hooks which took place over the past 130 years or so, and of the main accessories the fisherman needed, from flies to gaffs. And its not just a fascinating look back into time, but a helpful collector's guide as well. The many examples of old fishing tackle superbly illustrated and the advice on building a broad-based collection will be much appreciated by collectors and fans of fishing.
