Collecting Fishing Tackle

Over the past few years there has been a phenomenal growth of interest in collecting old fishing tackle, whether rods, reels, nets,bags or accessories, but until now the few guides to the subject have been aimed at the expert. Collecting Fishing Tackle: A Beginners Guide is the first straightforward, no nonsense introduction to this endlessly fascinating hobby. Author Tom Quinn, an avid collector himself, looks at the wide range of collectable tackle from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries right up to the 1950s and beyond. He also argues that fishing tackle is one of the few areas of collecting where the enthusiast has a real chance of discovering some valuable rarity hidden away in an attic or junk shop. But whether you choose to collect top-quality Hardy reels or relatively inexpensive cane and greenheart rods you'll find Collecting Fishing Tackle the perfect guide.
