There was a tackle shop in the little center at Nile and SPID. It was late 70s early 80s. I remember going to the auction after it closed doors. Think my first 542 and 552 blanks from Quitman Stevens ( I paid $32 each) were bought at that auction or maybe the Tackle Box where Club Cheetah is today I'm wondering what happened to the bingo lures collection he had hanging on the wall. Anybody know where is has ended up?

No clue, but your post damn sure brings back memories. I visited the Tackle Box just about every day. Embarassed

Yep, that was one heck of an auction! And yes, I know that ol boy Quit Stevens. He is still around, about half way between u and me. As far as the Bingo collection, I sure wish it was me!!!!!!! ..........cC

If my failing memory is working this morning, Mike owned the Full Stringer.

Mike Yuris had Full Stringer. Originally on Everhart. Then moved way out to Rod Field. It was way out back then. I may not spell it correctly but the guys name (Big I) was Iver Britney. Mac's was still around as well as Ed's. Maybe David McKee might know where the collection is. Might be a good story for David Sikes.
