Karl White Fishing Tackle Hardcover Book Collection x3

Volumes 1,2 & 3

Volume 1
The purpose of this book is to identify and evaluate plugs and plug boxes dated up to 1970.

Plugs are identified as a bodied lure made from wood, metal, plastic or any counterpart. Prices can fluctuate up to 50%, according to the demand of antique tackle. One thing to remember is that the better items keep getting more valuable and the common items stay about the same.

Lure Sets (items of one company's production) and Color Sets (all colors produced of one item), should be at least 25% more valuable. The values in this book are rated as to excellent condition, although the items pictured might not be.
(From the author's introduction to contents)

Volume 2
The purpose of this book is to identify and evaluate reels and metal lures dated up to 1970.

Good reels usually have identification on them. Prices can fluctuate up to 50%, according to the demand of antique tackle. One thing to remember is that the better items keep getting more valuable and the common items stay about the same.

Reel and lure sets (items of one company's production) and sets of all the individual reels produced of one type, should be at least 25% more valuable. The values in this book are rated as to excellent condition, although the items pictured might not be.

Rarity, demand, condition and age determine value. Keep in mind that the higher the number of items found and in circulation, the lower the value is.

A true collector obtains tackle for love of the hobby and not for the investment. The only common denominator that everyone understands is putting a dollar value on it. Good finds of antique fishing tackle are hard to come by and more people are collecting the 1940's, and later.

In this book the lures are indexed alphabetically by manufacturer and by common name. The reels are indexed by manufacturer only.

There are three indexes:

Lure by Manufacturer
Lure by Common Name
Reels by Manufacturer
The pictures in this book were done to give the best view of the item to help with identification. The sizes of the actual lures and reels are not relative to the picture size. All pictures were done by digital camera and are computer enhanced
