Lure Collector's Corner
The purpose of this page is to showcase some example's of my collector friend's and fellow club member's collections and/or some of their favorite or rare antique lures. This will be a work in progress and will continue to grow as I receive more examples to add to it. If you have something special that you would like to share, please send me an email and I will be happy to add it to the page. I would like to extend a special thank you to those that have contributed so far.
