Good Reference Books for Collectors
Author Phil White, the editor of this site,
has written some books about fishing tackle
that should be of interest to most tackle collectors. For a complete view of these books,
with reviews, check out the following.

I have also embarked on a series of Tackle Company
Booklets (Mainly reels). These booklets are generally 28-36 pages
long, with full color photos and black & white illustrations. They
mostly deal with company history and reel identification, but also provide
up to date values for the items described. The following titles are
currently available (click the title to see a complete booklet
