Collectible Fishing Lures Are Easy To Find

By Marsha Klein


There are many reasons why people collect the various things the do. Nobody knows all of the reasons and sometimes the people who are doing it do not even know all the reasons why they do what they do. However, for everyone who does it they have their own reasons. Collectible fishing lures are the same way. People who are into this hobby all have a story to tell.

There are a lot of various people who collect artificial baits. The fishing community started using artificial baits once they realized that they did not always need real live bait to catch a fish. Once that happened people started making them from almost anything they could. Then the craft became solidified and there was a routine and a method to make them as realistic as possible.

Once people figured out how to make such things the craft took off. More and more people wanted the baits because it meant that they would not have to go out searching for and catching live bait before every fishing trip. When you are fishing with tackle, or with a rod and reel it is mostly for sport. Sure you can do it this way for food as well.

Just like any other hobby or collectible out there the people who are doing this all have their own reasons. Some people do it because they remember their grandfather who used to take them fishing on the weekends. Still others do it because they remember taking their kids. For everyone who does it there is a new and different story as to why they do it.

No matter the reasons why there are a great number of people who collect artificial baits that date back to sometimes the 1900's or beyond. They do it because they love it and because it brings them joy. For many of them the hunt to locate a special, hard to find lure can be a thrill. Especially once the finally locate the one they have been searching for.

Many of the companies that have been manufacturing artificial baits for decades are still around today. Some of them have branched out into other areas while others remained in the artificial bait arena. Companies like Shakespeare for example started making lures and then got into making reels and have been for the last twenty years or so.

There are a lot of companies out there today that have a history from back in the 1930's or even longer. Some of the companies that survived that long also have a rather large collection of some of their much older products. It is very interesting to anybody who enjoys the sport to take a trip and tour of any one of their factories or sales shops to view some of the collections.

That is what is so special about collectible fishing lures. Finding out the strange differences and some of the amazing similarities of the past and present. People who are involved in this hobby are finding new and interesting things every day about the sport they love. When they share it with the people they love it is even better.
