Rice said it's possible to find fishing tackle treasures at flea markets and garage sales. It helps to get there early. Rice has friends who arrive so early for advertised sales that they need a flashlight to evaluate merchandise.

Like all those people who line up for Antiques Road Show, the average fishing enthusiast doesn't know if the tackle box he found in the attic contains valuable gear or not. That's where the NFLCC comes in.

GRAPEVINE ANTIQUE FISHING TACKLE SHOW

What: Annual meeting of fishing tackle collectors.

Where: Hilton DFW Lakes, 1800 Highway 26 east, Grapevine.

When: Saturday, 8 a.m. CDT to 2 p.m.

Features: Approximately 100 tables of antique tackle displays, experts to appraise tackle, on-site auction.

Information: Chip Rice, 817-295-7750 or e-mail macmatrixyahoo.com.

Other antique tackle displays: The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center near Athens has a collection of more than 500 items on display. Included are a full collection of Layfield Lures made in Malakoff, Texas.
