Rare Fishing Lures & Tackle
From the collections of users of this web site

The pictures below were sent in by users of this web site. The piece of fishing tackle shown is among the rarest or the favorites of their collections.
Please feel free to send me a picture if you have a rare or favorite piece in your own collection and would like to see it added to this page.
