Our Expertise

Rick Gottdenker and his partner, Marilyn Richter have been in the business of buying, selling and restoring vintage fishing equipment for 30 years and are committed to providing exceptional customer service and advice to ensure that our customers have a successful and enjoyable experience on the water.
Due to rapid turnover of our inventory, we need high quality fishing tackle to replace sold items.
