Just out of interest how do you catalogue your collections or don't you?
Does anyone use any particular apps to do it, how good are they? |

Hi Ross and welcome to the site...
Initially I have sorted all lures by makers surname regardless of how many designs he has made. I have then taken the task to photograph every single lure at under 1mg resolution and just opened a basic word folder and stored the jpeg images in the respective maker folder. This is the MENCHIN Lures sub folder For a background, I originally used black but now use a coloured A4 sheet of paper - base red/ dark green/ canary yellow depending on the lure colour so I can achieve contrast. Using a 'shrink' program, I have then copied and reduced each image down to under 30kb and are in the same maker order on my iphone.. If I see a lure available, it is a quick refer to the phone and then dig the wallet as necessary. It was an onerous task and needs to be updated at each new lure or trade.. wadey |

Ross, You could always use one of the free collection software progams
Google search...antique collection software I did buy a progaram called TreasureSoft a few years ago, have installed it but never really did anything more than that....maybe on some rainy day when I am laid up with lumbago |

Has anyone put out an Australian lure collectors book? there's plenty out there on all the American lures. Great idea real deal very time consuming but what a great reference guide.

Bob, can you give us any titles and ISBN's (usually found on the back cover)?
I have the Lure Encyclopaedia by Frank Prokop ISBN 186513067 - 2 and The Book of Lures by Ron Calcutt and Tim Simpson ISBN 0 - 7318 - 1208 - 5 It'd be great to find a book on Australian lures written in the same style as Grant's Guide to Fishes. Cheers.
