Antique Guides

Explore the Golden Witch collection of vintage fishing tackle componentry – mostly guides – as we begin the slow task of finally cataloging this collection and offering it all for sale. There are well over a half-million guides in the collection. If you need something you don’t see here, please inquire. Your need will drive our efforts to photograph, measure, and list another group of parts. Read the Longest Post Ever on Antique Guides

Please order vintage parts carefully; most are sold as single items even if a given photo shows multiple items, but some are sold in 3- or 5-packs. Photos of multiple items are not meant to be deceptive in cases where the sales increment is a single item…they show minor variety within a group and/or multiple angles of essentially identical parts. Finish quality is well represented by the close-up photographs; in some cases these guides are truly mint; in some cases there is visible degradation of the chrome plating. Please understand that all these vintage parts have, more or less, suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and thus each piece is sold “as-is” with no warranty express or implied. We do offer a seven day inspection window starting from the day you receive these vintage parts; if you’re not satisfied for any reason, please email us and we’ll issue you a return authorization number.
