Some vintage turn of the century Ice Fishing collectibles including Fish Decoys and Spears.
There are many other very fascinating items of collectible fishing tackle besides Lures and Reels. I will feature some of these articles on this page. Some of them include Fishing Rods, Tackle Boxes, Ice Fishing Decoys and Spears, Glass Minnow Traps, Minnow Buckets, Reel Oilers, Line Spools, Sporting Goods Catalogs, Postcards, Folk Art Lures, Nets, Gaff Hooks and much other miscellanious paraphenalia far too numerous to mention. This is an in depth page, and as time goes on, I will be adding much more material to it.
