Fishing continues to be one of the top outdoor pastimes, and so is collecting the rods, reels, lures, decoys, accessories, and artwork that connect today's anglers with anglers of past generations.
"Classic Fishing Lures and Tackle" is an entertaining general overview of the vast variety of fishing gear and memorabilia for all types of fishing. Sorenson provides historical background on the origins and evolution of fishing gear, the inventors of particular pieces, and the classic companies that produced them, including the classic manufacturers Heddon, Pflueger, Shakespeare, South Bend, and Orvis. Plus, he offers tips on which items are highly collectible, as well as advice on where to find them.
Complementing Sorenson's easy-to-read text are Howard Lambert's intricate photographic stills, which raise the presentation of such items to an art form. Period ads, illustrations, and period brochures and literature complete this look at this popular hobby.

I bought this as a Father's Day gift for my dad and he loves it! It has great stories and pictures and he has enjoyed reading it. This book is in great condition and arrived very quickly. I would buy from this seller again.
