HeavyFisher Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Hey everybody, I'd like to share my Antique lure collection with you fine gentlemen. It was passed on to me from my Father who was once an avid fisherman like us. For you viewing enjoyment I present the "Box" Maybe some of you older folk might recognize some of these? Hope y'all enjoyed the picks. 9 Quote
FlipnLimits Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Love it! Thanks for sharing. I have some items to post also. Just need some pictures taken so may take a few days. FL Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted April 23, 2014 Super User Posted April 23, 2014 That's an awesome collection. Really liked the photos. Hootie Quote
Preytorien Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 That's really cool. I love old lures, and you've got an amazing collection. Thanks for sharing! Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 23, 2014 Super User Posted April 23, 2014 You have got some nice old baits right there. Quote
paangler13 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Nice stuff!!!! I bet you could take most of them out and catch fish on them too! My FIL caught two bass on a red and orange flatfish like you have there just this past weekend! Nice collection! Jim Quote
fishguy613 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 awesome! nice bud lure i have an old budweiser can fishing reel lol! Quote
HeavyFisher Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Glad you guys enjoyed the pics. This collection has been in my family for a long long time. It's very rare to come across people who actually appreciate some of the history in that box! Quote
Brian6428 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I just got that same scale in a tackle box passed down to me by my great grandfather! I don't think any of the lures in the box he gave to me are special but I am sure he would love for me to catch something on them! Nice pics! Quote

I might tie it up just to see the action lol Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted April 26, 2014 Super User Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks Jim, I wonder if the beer can fish would catch anything. I might tie it up just to see the action lol Just throw it out there and tell the bass, "this Bud's for you". Hootie 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 27, 2014 Super User Posted April 27, 2014 Excuse me but Where are the "antique" lures ? That looks almost like my everyday t-box. 1 Quote
HeavyFisher Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Excuse me but Where are the "antique" lures ? That looks almost like my everyday t-box. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather would probably say the same thing Quote
Super User bigbill Posted April 28, 2014 Super User Posted April 28, 2014 I been collecting the steel bait casting rods and the telescopic steel fly rods besides the old lures. I have my own fishing museum even with my first fishing equipment too. Even the very first plastic hard body cranks catch my eye. Not too old but unique looking. I wonder how safe are the steel rods in a lightening storm? 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 28, 2014 Super User Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder how safe are the steel rods in a lightening storm? As safe as a Lightning Rod. Graphite rods are also unsafe. Quote
