Even if you haven’t, the excellent photographs, histories of the makers, commentary on the development of fishing tackle over several hundred years and the information about the incredible values that these accoutrements of the piscator’s art command today make this book a worthwhile investment. Thoroughly indexed and filled with all manner of commentary, this excellent book makes it easy to understand why fishing lures and tackle have become such hot collectibles. A great book that makes a great gift for the fisherman or the antique enthusiast.
