12 Things I Would Buy If Only I Could Afford Them

This early, early rubber frog is unbelievable.


This is a superb Montague Varney fly rod.


This is a cool Tom Mann Eagle Claw spinning reel.



This Hardy brass Perfect is a wonderful find.


This #3 Milam & Son is in great shape.



A beautiful Shakespeare 5-Hooker is an outstanding lure.


This South Bend Musky lure is also an incredible bait.


Fred E. Thomas is my favorite all-time rodmaker. Here's why.


This Kent Floater in the box is superb.


ABU Cardinal 3s are superb reels.


You really don't see these Wright & McGill flapper crabs in the box very often.


A 1957 Salesman's Sample from Heddon would be a great centerpiece for any collector.



As always, have a great weekend and be nice to each other, and yourself.
