The History of Fishing Museum is the largest collection of antique fishing lures, rods, reels, boats and motors entirely collected by one man and his wife.
The Karl & Beverly White collection at the History of Fishing Museum is the world's most complete tackle collection valued at more than $4 million. While many people specialized in one area (i.e. ice fishing) or one company (i.e. James Heddon & Sons), the Whites' collection represents everything that is "collectible" in antique tackle and fishing paraphernalia.
