1972 Catalogs-Performance Package

 The Performance Package

Mr. Clyde A. Harbin Sr. hand assembled "The Performance Package" booklets.  These books of catalogues provided accurate data and instructional reference information for Mr. Harbin's Bas-Tek-Neke Seminars and Bass Schools.  Mr. Harbin stored one box of these catalogues thirty some years ago and had forgotten about them until now.  After finding them again in 2001 Mr. Harbin has allowed me to post this "Mother Lode of 1970 - 1972 catalogs" to share with lure collectors.
