Can anybody ID the font used for the "Sportfish Tackle" in this image?
Even something close would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Laura

The font is "Acme" from Type Revivals. It looks like it is a bold weight, or else stroke was added to make it look bold.

Here is a link to Acme at House of Type, one of the few places the TR fonts are available. Your sample was also slanted, as well as bolded.

Mike, you're incredible!
I was just hunting through the casual non flowing scripts on your website and thought it looked close.
Bonus I already have the font, Yippee, and thank you.

That's where I found it. I thought that high 'a' looked familiar.

Glad to help out.
