The 12th Annual Used Plug Swap & Sale
2021-05-01 08:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | White’s of Westport, 66 State Road, Westport, MA, United States
The Salt Water Lure Collector Club (SWLCC) was established in 2009 and is a non-profit organization made up of a diverse group of individuals who share a common interest, or should we call it a passion, for the history of salt water sport fishing and the lures and lure makers of times past. The “Golden Age of Surf Fishing” from roughly 1945 to 1960 is the focus of many collectors, but baits made and used prior to the end of WWII as well as lures produced well after the 1960’s, including present day custom plug builders, are also of interest to many.
The flagship event of the season, the annual used plug swap and sale is an event not to be missed! The show is free and open to the public, and a great place to experience the largest display of vintage as well as contemporary saltwater lures and memorabilia ever compiled in one place!
