Museum Archive: Unknown Brookside Vintage Fly Rod Delux Poppers No. 3002 (1980s), fishing #20156

Six colorful poppers measuring 1" (2.5 cm) each are neatly arranged on their original 1980s retail card. Brookside Fishing Tackle offered this No. 3002 assortment, identified by product code 20156, as a versatile kit for the fly rod angler. The set displays a range of visual patterns, from a classic black and yellow bumblebee to vibrant orange, teal, and red combinations. Every lure features a small cupped face and is adorned with delicate feathers and hackles. These specimens are unused, preserved in their original "Made in Taiwan" blister pack which shows only minor signs of storage. This particular set provides a fascinating look at the mass-market fly tackle of the era, where variety was key for matching the hatch on local ponds.
