The formation in 1976 of the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club (NFLCC) marked the beginning of the fishing lure collecting hobby. While lure collecting has gained worldwide attention and brought pleasure to its many converts, it is surrounded by considerable confusion. The hobby is undeniably complicated and difficult to learn, and it is for this reason that Collector Books has asked one of the foremost experts in this unique hobby to author this helpful publication. As one of the three founders of the NFLCC and editor of the NFLCC Magazine, Dudley Murphy and his wife Deanie bring over 60 years of advanced collecting experience to this book. Along with Rick Edmisten, Dudley co-authored the bestselling Fishing Lure Collectibles Volume One which addresses lures made prior to 1940. Now in this new groundbreaking volume the authors address the most collectible fishing lures made since 1940. In addition to the major "big six" companies, chapters devoted to miscellaneous lure makers, spinning lures, folk art, and the rapidly growing area of contemporary collectibles are exhaustively documented.
