For those of us that are older than dirt, one of our many tackle boxes must be filled with antique lures.
What is the oldest lure that still works for you?? How about one from your Dad or G/Dad’s collection?
Sorry, no clue. I don’t think either of them really did any fishing other than when they were kids.
I’m trying to start a family trend.
My Dad made many wooden plugs. I don’t think it was a matter of him pursuing a hobby but money was really tight during the depression. One of these days I will give them a work out. Although I would hate to lose any of them.
I’ve got a collection of pops lures I found cleaning out the shed.Mostly spinners and one bass plug he carved by hand.My faverite is a Indiana Spinner by Pflueger with the card board still on the lure.I’d guess it was bought back in the early fifties.
Hey there gdn443, have you used any of these lures recently?
No Dryrod, I put them into display frames and they hang on the wall. For sentamental reasons I couldn’t use them. You know you would lose one if you didn’t want to, Murphys Law.
Hey there gdn443, Good idea - never thought about a display case for some of my old collectible lures. I have my Dad’s old bamboo fly rod hanging in my family room, so why not display his old lures.
I wish I had Pops old Battenkill by Orvis to hang up. I learned how to flyfish with it and didn’t realise that no other rod since then could match up to it. What a ROD!!!
