Our next National Convention will be held in Springfield, Illinois  July 18, 19, and 20, 2024.  Please join us! Our convention site is the BOS Center – Bank of Springfield located at 1 Convention Center Plaza, Springfield, IL 62701. 

This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow vintage fishing lure collectors – all members who are passionate about preserving and sharing fishing lure history and conserving these beautiful vintage lures and other vintage fishing tackle-related items.  

Each year our members showcase their collections and this show typically hosts about 200-300 tables filled with a variety of vintage fishing tackle from lures to reels, as well as posters, novelties, and other tackle-related items. Lures from the great manufacturing companies of the past can be found among the vast collections, including Heddon, Creek Chub, Shakespeare, Pflueger, and many more.

Active club membership is required to attend this show. If you would like to join the NFLCC, we have a variety of membership options available. Please visit our membership page for more information on becoming a member.
