FRANK Rybarcyk’s Shakespeare Fishing Tackle Collection has been recognised as one of the finest private collections of fishing tackle in the world.
Frank’s collection started in his garage, and then it moved into his basement. It got to be so big and broad, that Frank eventually decided to specialise in one type of fishing tackle. Since his primary passion was for fishing lures made by The Shakespeare Company, that was where he shifted his focus.
Eventually, even this newly-focused collection grew to the point where he no longer had the room to store and curate it. So Frank and his wife Sherry built a mini-museum behind his house to store the collection. He custom-built display cases and shelving, and made it a place where he can go to get away and pursue his passion.
