The “Vintage Fishing Other” section is a “catch-all” for all pieces of vintage fishing tackle in my collections, that don’t fit neatly into the defined drop-down menu categories in this website. While most items shown here are ‘original’ pieces from my collection, a limited number are not & have been added for context (in those limited cases, I will try to ensure it is noted as “copy” or give a proper attribution to my source). The items listed below are just a start, lots more to be added regularly):
