VINTAGE TACKLE

As the second generation in a family owned and operated tackle store we enjoy the history that goes with the products, manufacturers, fads and follies. Serious anglers looking to gain a competitive advantage and collectors alike will be interested in the fish-catching relics we have collected for decades.

Our warehouse has long held items that were somehow left behind when we stocked the shelves. Whether overlooked, forgotten, or just not popular at the time, the items were never sold. Mostly lures, these pieces date back to the late sixties. Some are in larger boxes that the manufacturers used solely to ship lures to the dealers. Occasionally with the colorful graphics, these hard-to-find "dealer boxes" that house some of the lures are desirable to collectors.

Peruse these lists and contact us if there is anything you would like to purchase. We do not have on-line sales so please contact us. Contact information is listed at the bottom of this page.
