AllTerrainAngler Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Going through old tackle boxes I've bought at yards sales and what not. This is what I've found in one. Not sure the value or if these even have any but thought they were cool. Previous to this site I trashed older lures thinking nobody would want them. Definitely a huge mistake. But here's the goodies from #1 and more pics on the way. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 Not old enough to be worth more than good lures to fish with. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 Yeah, they are alder but not really old, there is a Yum Dancin' eel, and some Rebel minnows along with some bomber cranks with the oldest being the Hellbender. The HellBender I'd keep in the box because it is the old style box. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 It's not even a collecter's item, but I came across a Mirrolure lipless crankbait imbedded in the mud at my pond the other day. Cleaned it up, found out it's from the 1980s. Pretty cool lure to me. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 Keep the Hellbender for sure. Especially because of the box. Sometimes the box is more valuable than the lure! 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 I have some antique lures made in the 40s and 50s. Seven are in a frame in my "cave." The others are in one of my fishing drawers, safe and sound. Just keeping them so I can play with them from time to time. Their days in the water are over. Quote
Big C Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I bought an old Cotton Cordell Spot at an antique place from the 60's or 70's. Put some new hooks on it, caught a fish the first time I used it. Quote
LApanic Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Wait...wait! There could be a lot more goodness in this lot.... are them brown cranks Wiggle Warts? bill will be stamped if pre-rapala wiggle warts and worth anywhere from 15-50 bucks depending on shape and color rareity Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Cleaned it up, found out it's from the 1980s. Pretty cool lure to me. LOL! Regular antique! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 Keep that hellbender it will have value one day! 1 Quote
