Free Downloads Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles, Vol. 5: Identification & Value Guide
This volume is the fifth and final in a colorful, historical, series by author Russell E. Lewis. Large, crisp photos, realized values, and company histories are once again components of this essential encyclopedia for collectors. It continues the author's tradition of discussing companies others have forgotten or offering more details on companies already known. Hot collectible lures from the modern era are discussed and any corrections or additions to earlier volumes are included. Expanded manufacturer information and new companies are highlights of the book, and the index is once again a useful component. A selected tour of 1972 to 1987 is a special chapter of the book, as well as full details on 1986: A Year in Review. Heddon lures from 1972 to 1987 are given coverage, as are modern fish decoy carvers. Nearly 1,500 photos and 2,000 lure illustrations, including dozens of lure color charts never before published, make this a perfect companion to the author's other books. 2007 values.

Definitive collections for avid collectors of fishing gear will not be complete without adding the fifth volume of Russell E. Lewis's Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles, which continues Lewis' prior volumes offering identification and value guides to lures from the 1970s, 1980s and modern times. Packed with color photos of lures often in their boxes and new, paired with prices and including text descriptions and lure history, it's a top pick for any with an avid interest in fishing lures.
If you have a day to spend trying to figure out how this book was configured, then buy it. Otherwise it is with out a doubt the most convoluted book on Collectible fishing lures. I found nothing useful and I cannot believe that there was only slight mentions of Fred Arbogast who was a lure design pioneer. And even that was scattered out in the book which I believe was laid out by year classifications. Confusing and very incomplete. NO REFERRALS!
This book covered 90+% of the lures in the period my husband collects. Its color pictures make identifying lures quite easy, and explanations of other similar lures is quite valuable. He said all indexes should list a lure by name, because you may not know the maker. He did say it seemed to leave a lot of information out on southern lure makers. He had read 1/2 the book, before he set it down!
I bought the entire series and they would have been better to cover each maker verses time period. Because of the structure its hard to focus on a manufacturer. You just get a little of each in each book.
The worst organized and presented book I have ever seen with the exception of the bible. Bad photos and totally impossible to use. He schould have stopped with the first edition.
