Book Description
Robert A. Slade, after collecting old fishing tackle since 1958 and contributing articles on old fishing lures for a collector magazine for several years started researching and writing books in the 1990's. He published the HISTORY & COLLECTIBLE FISHING TACKLE OF WISCONSIN in 1999 which sold 4,500 copies. Bob realized that even though there have been many books published on the subject of old fishing lures that few books covered any detailed history on the old lure makers. His latest book writing project was nine years in the making and covers over 100 years of lure making history starting in 1875 and covers over 2,500 lures makers throughout all of North America. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF OLD FISHING LURES MADE IN NORTH AMERICA is the first publication with extensive history and patent information on old lure makers and the first to include extensive coverage on Canadian lure makers. The author traveled to 11 states and 3 Candian Providences visting collectors homes, newspaper archives, museums and other sources and has taken over 10,000 pictures in preparing the historical stories for these books. The set of books arranges for the individual and company lures makers to appear in alphabetical order. People purchasing these books can buy any one single book, a whole set, or even a book a month if they desire as the books will be printed and shipped on demand. Each book has over 400 pages of text, pictures and collector values with each book containing a table of contents and index as well as a master index for the complete set of books.

Book Description
The significant merit and historical importance of vintage folk art fishing lures and tackle have remained largely "undiscovered" by the folk art community. This book will change that. Over 700 striking color photos and fascinating text presents vintage folk art fishing lures, predominantly from the first half of the 20th century, as small, exquisite, handcrafted treasures. Originally made only for catching fish, these lures were assembled from available materials and household supplies. Through their makers' vision and talent, miniature "sculptures" were created. Each lure is unique and personal. Detailed background, historical, and introductory sections complement photos conveying the limitless range of lure designs from primitives to elaborate folk art classics. Early folk artists including Bud Stewart, William Giles, and Burt Errett as well as contemporary artists Bob Baird, Aage Bjerring, Bill Grossman, C.B. Lewis, and C.E. Wilson are featured. First-ever detailed benchmarks to assess an individual folk art lure's quality, condition, authenticity, and value. This book is a treasure for fishermen and folk art collectors, displaying lures from both known and anonymous makers.

Book Description
Deep in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. Lives a boy who shares the love of fishing with his grandfather. Who receives a gift of a fishing lure for his birthday. His enjoyment of his new gift is cut short. With a twist of faith, his grandfather's love for fishing is renewed in one single moment that changes everything. Reminding us all of the American dream through a relationship with a boy and his grandfather."Official OnlineBookClub.org: Review of "The Fishing Lure" by Greer Alexis Bacon. 4 out of 4 stars" Family is one of the most important things in life, particularly the child-parent and child-grandparent relationship, and it feels like one being lost over time. When I was a child, we watched things like Full House where no one was perfect, but family stuck together and things always worked out. These days, however, it feels like kids shows represent parents as just silly or unknowledgeable and celebrate the child that mocks them or flat-out disobeys them. Particularly when a child is at the age to be read to, the importance of family should be a key point, and Greer Alexis Bacon's The Fishing Lure does just that across four generations, celebrating what's great about family, spending time together and passing along traditions.The Fishing Lure begins with a boy known only as "Stars and Stripes" for being born on Independence Day, sharing his love of fishing with his grandfather, a WWII vet. Gramps, you see, always loved fishing and took his son when he raised him, and has continued the tradition with his grandson.On Stars and Stripes's 7th birthday his parents get him a new fishing pole and his Gramps gives him a hand painted fishing lure, with the thirteen stripes and 50 stars of the flag upon it, along with the year 1776. The next morning, Stars and Stripes takes his stars and stripes fishing lure and new pole out for a spin. Unfortunately, a snapping turtle gets a hold of the line and the lure is seemingly lost forever. Time goes on, Stars and Stripes opens a fishing shop right there on the Finger Lakes where he always fished and he even has a son. When his Gramps passes, he follows his request to scatter the ashes over the pond the two of them visited, and in doing so his son finds the special fishing lure he lost 22 years ago.The best comparison I can find for The Fishing Lure is one of those Pixar shorts. The book is short, portrays its points expertly, it's touching and sad, even for an adult, and ends on one of those "fighting back a tear while I smile" moments that every single one of them seems to give me. The illustrations in the book are wonderful as well - they colors pop and even sparkle in places, all done with water color paint, and feel like a cross between anime and traditional cartoons. There are a total of 11 in the book's 20ish pages, not including 3 more in a tiny section in the back where the illustrator, T.D Smartgroupvn, briefly explains how the illustrations are done. Official Book review: onlinebookclub.comThe Fishing Lure is a wonderful, short children's book that really captures the love of family without having to even say it's there, and it's a must have for parents to share with their kids, therefore earning itself 4 out of 4 stars. The version I reviewed from Amazon on my Kindle app allowed me to double-click each illustration, making it easy to show to kids as you read it to them (or as they read it themselves even!). The fact that the book is dedicated to the author's own grandfather, also a WWII vet who shared his love of fishing with his grandchildren makes it even more lovable. I found no grammatical errors or oddities, and honestly even reading through a second time with a fine-tooth comb I can't think of anything to make it better!******

Book Description
Tom Mann is an American original. Growing up in Depression-era Alabama, for him fishing was more than a recreational activity-it was a way of putting dinner on the table. Following his father's simple advice, "to catch fish, you have to find fish," six-year-old Tom came up with an innovative way of finding the drop-offs in a creek where fish seek refuge from predators. As a young teenager, he began to design and craft special lures, always with an eye toward tricking the freshwater dean of the deep-the largemouth bass. Tom's innate talent in outsmarting the competition above and below the waterline quickly took him from local hero to three-time world bass fishing champion to living legend. He also tapped into his skill for designing lures, building a multi-million-dollar enterprise that has sold over one billion lures to date in major sporting goods and fishing retailers around the world, all with his smiling face on the packages. Yet despite the prestige and fame of a forty-year career, he still resides where it all began-deep in the heart of the South. Filled with touching childhood stories and hilarious down-home fisherman's lore, "Think Like a Fish reveals how Mann quite literally learned to "think like a fish." He explains the technique and mindset that enable him to lure a fish from thirty yards away into a circle the size of a hula hoop; how he "trains" bass to jump right into his boat; and how he purportedly managed to lure a shark to shore with rod and reel. But in addition to the fishing techniques and words of wisdom, Mann explores the path that got him where he is today-a poignant story of determination, Southern grit, and good-ole-boy charm. Full of gentle humor andwit, this book brings to life the allure of the South and one of its favorite pastimes.
