When most folks think about fishing collectibles, they likely conjure up images of fine bamboo rods, early reels, wooden lures with glass eyes, hand-carved ice-fishing decoys, or perhaps leather-trimmed split willow creels. Not Dean Smith—he likes all of the other stuff best: gizmos, bottles, boxes, tins, medals, pins, knives, fly-tying vises, advertising items, and all sorts of paraphernalia with a fishing theme. Join AMFF curator Jim Schottenham as he welcomes special guest Dean Smith to the third episode of Tackle Talk on Saturday, September 21, at 3 pm EDT. Dean will share some special items from his collection and provide information on a few items from the museum’s collection as well. We hope you’ll join us for this special Saturday edition of Tackle Talk.
