I recently got a tackle box full of old bass lures. some are wooden Where can I find out just what I have and how would I market them?

The book old fishing lures and tackle. By Luckey and Lewis is very good

this post is useless without pictures.

There was an interesting article in the latest FFG about antique bass lures. Maybe you have a rare Jenny Mohawk worth $20,000.00 like in the article.

Luckey's book is good, but values are generally overstated. If there is a NFLCC sanctioned show or any other type of sporting collectibles show in your area, you can get a pretty idea there. They also have silent auctions. If you want to sell, nothing better than having collectors bidding. I am a longtime collector. PM me a picture of the box open and I would be happy to tell you what you may have.

Looks like a 60s - 70s tackle box with some 50s lures here and there. My word isn't too good as I m a casual collector, more for hanging in my man cave workshop. I would say though if that box could talk, imagine the fishing memories them lures have. Box looks kinda clean and organized for the age. Curious, a family gift or bought from somewhere? If you don't mind, of course.

That's exactly what it is. Those lures appear to all have been used pretty good. Example: Creek Chub plunker on top left third one over (not the mouse) is probably a $5-10 lure. Condition is everything for a collector. Don't think there's any high value $100 lures there. I'd keep em and fish em.

friend of mine bought it at an auction. i told him that stuff might be collectible. he told me to take it home and see what could find out

No expert here but I dabble in resale. I don't see anything outstanding, looks like typical, newer stuff. I may have missed something though.

Yes condition means a lot to collectors. but it's a nice start. The plastic lures are also collectable .I been collecting for years. Have more old reels than anything.

E bay would take some time but net you the most perhaps. My best friend has a large fishing reel collection. He is a reel expert, been at it for many years. Myself I collect and use Zebco 33 reels from 50s and 60s I have a vintage tackle set up that I use a lot. I live on a great small fishing lake.

As a kid,I lost most of my dads and second cousins lures.River runts,bass o renos,hoola poppers and a lot of old lures.Sure wish I had them now.

I like old lures, there are a few there I would not mind having, but I use the lures that's what they were made for. Mostly go after hula poppers, jitter bugs and old surface lures. Thanks for posting.
