Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles, Volume 2, is quite a catch!
Like Volume 1, this book is the first to cover modern fishing reels and rods and detail some of the major changes brought about by the introduction of fiberglas rods. It is also the first book to catalog miscellaneous fishing collectibles and emphasizes the importance of: CatalogsMagazinesWholesale House CatalogsDecoysBobbers/FloatsBait BucketsSplit Shot TinsLeader PacksAdvertising Items...and other significant relics from 1940 until the early 1980s.
Dating techniques for modern items are included, as well as dozens of catalog pages, charts, photos, and other data. It covers more than 140 companies not in Volume 1, and includes illustrations of the important Shakespeare rods, catalog reprints of other rods, collectible pack rods from the sixties and seventies, Heddon rods of the modern era, and even a ""field find"" tackle box from the modern era which will be of serious interest to collectors.
There is also a chapter on fly rod baits and a chapter on metal baits since 1940. A perfect companion to author Lewis's first volume, you should reel it in for your bookshelf today!
PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
This book is the second from author Russell E. Lewis, and is filled with full color photographs of modern fishing lures and tackle. A must for lure lovers.
