38 Super Fan Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Stopped by the local tackle shop the other day and the owner was unloading some of his used tackle which he no longer wanted. A lot of it had been sitting around and developed a little rust, but he only wanted $40 for the lot, so without looking through it with a lot of detail, I went ahead and grabbed it up. After getting it all home, cleaning them up and looking them over, I think I did better than I originally thought. About half a dozen of them are Lucky Crafts, and there's some Spros, Xcalibers, Rapalas, AC Shiners, a Megabass Vibration X lure, and a few more that I can't indentify. There's a couple new cotton cordell spoons, and an unopened pack of Yamamoto Kreatures too. He said he'll have some more stuff in a few days, I think I'll go back and pick up some more, what do you guys think? 1 Quote
endless Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 $40 for all that? Cleaned them up now with no rust? Even for 1 rapala was from $5 to $10 I think I seen an Excalibur rattle trap I think I paid $8.99 for just 1. I think it's a great deal if everything is in great shape after clean up. Quote

Nearly all have cleaned up nice, all have good paint, a few will need new hooks and rings, but the majority are nice. I touched up the hooks with a stone on a bunch of them, probably 3/4 of them are fishable now. The two Lucky Craft live pointers surprised me, I didn't see them when I bought them, and they're like new, as was one of the clack n raps. I have no idea who made the spinnerbaits, but they seem like good quality lures. Quote

DRhodes Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I'm actually glad to see some AC Shiners in the boxes. That is a brand that many anglers dont know about and they are top notch. Quote
