Must Have

This is a great reference book. All the colored photo's are a great update from the 6th edition. The book contais basic history on lures by manufacturer. This is a must have for lure collectors.

(Sure, it has book value included(which means nothing compared to auction values), but, it also has way more information on the...

EXCELLENT AND WELL DONE

This is one of the better guides. I really could not do business without it. You certainly will not be wasting your money on this one. Highly recommed it for the collector, dealer and those just interested.

GREAT REFERENCE BUT POOR CONSTRUCTION

HAVE HAD LOTS OF LUCK FINDING GRANDPA'S LURES AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO THOSE WISHING TO IDENTIFY OLD LURES. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT PAGES HAVE BEGAN TO FALL OUT OF THE BOOK CREATING A BIT OF A MESS.

(HIS PEACH PIT AND BANDAID WERE NOT LISTED.) THIS BOOK HAS STARTED A HOBBY WHICH I HOPE TO PASS DOWN TO MY CHILDREN. COULDN'T HAVE DONE...

This has become my Fishing Tackle "bible"

This is the second book I purchased when I started collecting fishing tackle. It is the most comprehensive book I have found yet and is filled with information on the history of the lures. I use it hand-in-hand with Fishing Lure Collectibles by Dudley Murphy and Rick Edmiston. I strongly...
