This place is like ICAST for OLD SCHOOL lures! (Part 1 - NFLCC '22)

This place is like ICAST for OLD SCHOOL lures! This year ol' Retro attended the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club (NFLCC) National Meeting in Springfield, Illinois. This even draws antique fishing tackle enthusiasts from around the country, and is a great place to meet fellow collectors, see priceless tackle collections, and get some great deals on vintage fishing lures and tackle.

In the first instalment of this two-part episode, Retro goes picking for vintage lures at the convention center hosting the NFLCC show. There we get a look at some old school gold, including Fred Arbogast lures like the Jitterbug, Hula Popper, Tipsy, and Stickleback. There are also some epic displays of Heddon Lures, including the man with the world's largest Heddon River Runt collection. We also see some forgotten lures from grandpa's tackle box like the Mercury Minnow and the Daily Double, and novelty lures like the Cotton Cordell Prez, the Heddon Big Bud, and the Powerpak Shad.

If you are an antique tackle collector or just like to bass fish with vintage rods, reels, lures, or equipment, the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club shows are worth a visit...and tell 'em Retro sent ya!

The National Fishing Lure Collectors Club (NFLCC) is a non-profit, educational, international organization founded in 1976. The primary objectives of the NFLCC are to foster an awareness of fishing tackle collecting as a hobby and to assist members in the location, identification, and trading of vintage fishing-related equipment.
