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.
