Description
The Tackle Box Book chronicles two American sport fishing accounts that intertwine and enhance each other. One account visually presents and examines how and when recreational casting tackle – fishing rods, reels, lines, and artificial lures – developed and improved from 1889 forward. Another is about the people, places, and events who invented, produced, and fished with the gear to have fun. That story begins in Daniel Boone’s time and concludes just before the Bass Angler’s Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) organized in 1967.Written from the viewpoint of a lifelong angler who collects fishing tackle, this unique book offers a broad spectrum of noteworthy information regarding antique and vintage tackle produced since George Snyder made the first American multiplying fishing reel in about 1815. Most importantly, for the first time, readers have an unprecedented opportunity to carefully examine and compare the fishing gear in six sequentially organized tackle kits from 1889 to 1967. Each tackle box has a dedicated chapter of the book where the contents are displayed and deconstructed item by item. Because each box represents a set period in time, an examination and side-by-side comparison and analysis of the tackle in the boxes expose differences between periods and reveal the evolution of the four components of the casting system: the rod, reel, line, and lures.
