jbfilms1 Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Hello About a week ago I found a tackle box full of old lures in my deceased Papa’s shed and I need help identifying them. Thanks Quote
rboat Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 If you could post a larger image with just a few at a time I'm sure myself and many others on this forum could identify them for you. 2 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted April 18, 2017 Super User Posted April 18, 2017 You have some Dalton Specials .I use to fish them . Mark Twain Lake bass loved them . Quote
Super User geo g Posted April 18, 2017 Super User Posted April 18, 2017 If you had the boxes the price goes way up. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted April 19, 2017 Super User Posted April 19, 2017 Just an idea, but maybe try posting pics of 2 baits at a time, close up. 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted April 19, 2017 Super User Posted April 19, 2017 I agree, unless there is an eagle eye among us I am not sure many will be able to identify those baits yet alone try to tell you which one is which. It would be like barking out battleship commands...E-1 ...miss! Post groups of 3-5 baits in a nice row and maybe even number them. Folks can guess the bait based on number and then you will have some sort of idea what you have and if you are lucky some kind soul could help you figure out what they are worth should you be looking to sell them. 1 Quote
OCdockskipper Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I feel like I am channeling Hobo Kelly - "I see a Hula Popper, I see a Cordell spot, I see a Rapala minnow..." 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted April 19, 2017 Super User Posted April 19, 2017 You need to look at a antique-vintage bass lure book. Tom Quote
jbfilms1 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Links to photos with the lures numbered. Quote
