Vintage Fishing Reel

Match fishing tackle and baits

This book definitely holds some pleasant surprises for the reader. Instead of the expected catalog of collectibles, Campbell provides an interesting account of successes, failures, and oddities. The author, editor of Fishing Collectibles magazine, brings together many sources (the bibliography lists 45) to construct an interesting history. His work concentrates on rods and reels, although information on flies and other accessories merits a single chapter.
