Collecting Fishing Reels Resources
Collecting fishing reels resources includes:
Books
Original, hardcover books on fishing reels can be colelction pieces on their own. The higher the scarcity, the higher the price.
As an example, the 1985's "Meisselbach and Meisselbach-Catucci Fishing Reels : A Collector's Guide" target="_blank"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1882418204?ie=UTF8&tag=uponbamboflyf-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1882418204">Meisselbach and Meisselbach-Catucci Fishing Reels : A Collector's Guide" by Phil White (Author) and there is only one item available (1 October 2008).
So this is probably a good investment as well, not to mention that you need the information to deepen your knowledge of that particular brand of antique fishing reel.

Reference
The "Bible".
Graham Turner has completely rewritten his work published in 1989 and expanded on the history of fishing tackle across two centuries.
With over 700 pages and more than 1500 illustrations this is the largest and most comprehensive work ever produced for fishing tackle collectors. Fourteen chapters contain historical records of makers and models, many of which have never before appeared in print. The collector's guide covers new models by Hardy Bros, Allcock's, Farlow's and the pioneer London makers.
Other chapters include artificial baits, covering lures of leading makers across a period of two centruries. The history of American tackle traces the chronological development by the country's own makers who started business early in the 19th century.
Fishing Tackle: The Ultimate Collector's Guide is set to take over the mantle of being the collector's Bible and serve as the definitive guide in the 21st Century.

Then, of course, there are the special books dedicated to old lures collecting. Here is a selection (I have the "Old Fishing Lures & Tackle" book by Carl F. Luckey, 6th edition, 2006)
Booklets
These are in many cases the instruction manuals which were originally inlcuded with the reel. Guessed it? Yes, a collectible item on its own! The box, too!
This is a DVD that I will definetely want to watch. It's the only DVD that i found of this kind and because I enjoy documentary movies so much, I cannot but to warmly point it out.
If you know any other DVD on the subject, let me know, please!
