Andrew,

Those are all good and classic references. Trouble is most of them are expensive. Still, c'mon ACW, you old cheapskate - pay yer money but don't bid against me!

Hi Andy,

Have a look at http://www.mullocksauctions.co.uk/ they hold vintage tackle auctions on a regular basis, and also you can check back over previous auctions to see what prices certain items sold for.

There always seems to be a few bargains to be had, provided you are selective.

Hope the above helps.

Moustique ,I have their next sale in my sights ,just need to ensure not out bidding the bajan Bounder !

Hi Andy,

Judging by the comments posted on their website following the last tackle auction, it would appear that people aren't spending as much on old tackle as previously, so there may be some bargain to be had?

If I remember correctly, their online tackle catalogue (complete with pictures) is usually available about 2 weeks before the auction.

Good luck in securing yourself a few bargains!

Not always looking to buy ,just find tackle of yesterday thats still going strong of more interest than the latest bling .
Last purchase a 1955 Allcocks 4" marvel is now my salmon shooting head reel .
Bling aint my thing

What's that saying? They don't make them like they used to!

Some of the old tackle will outlive new tackle 3 times over, and besides, it also has character!

Happy fishing!

Just got my Dingley ,woooo what a ratchet ,not quite a Perfect but that one sings .
First time ever online auction ,enjoyed immensly and will do it again

Moustique big thanks !
