Best Imitation of a Catfish
The Bullhead, made by Paw Paw Bait Co. of Paw Paw, Michigan, dates to the 1930s. The bait was short-lived – probably due to the difficulty in shaping its elaborate body. The Bullhead baits even had carved lips and hand-painted whiskers.
What makes a classic fishing lure collectible? It depends on whom you ask – and what the fish think isn’t always the deciding factor. Georgia-based outdoors columnist Rob Pavey – a well known collector of antique fishing lures – offers insight into some of his favorites. You can see more of his collection on his website, www.mrlurebox.com.

Some of those are pretty stinkin' fancy for their age.
Cool lures, some of them look like modern fishing lures.
Awesome collection! I know they're much too rare, but it'd be great to see how some of these fished!
Those are great looking lures and look brand new
There are some very "odd" looking lures, i wonder if they caught fish.
I wonder what a collection like that would run you/
there sure are some creative mindes out there. I wonder what lures will be featured 80 years from now.
These baits are very cool, sweet pictures.
Those are cool lures, I would like to have some of them in my tackle box.
THOSE ARE SOME GREAT LURES. REALLY LIKE THE E-Z-WAY PIC #30 THAT THING REALLY LOOKS AND SOUNDS DANGEROUS
I'm a younger guy and have never seen anything like this, great photos! I wouldn't mind having a few myself!
Robbie Pavey's collection is a great source for way more photo stories like these. Great selection, great photos, way cool lures and great idea. More of these!
Wow great gallery I wish I owned more of these classics, great ideas for the time that they were made!!!
I could use that shooting lure.
Very cool gallery. We found a tackle box that belonged to my great-grandpa (a U.P. Finn) a few years ago that contained a bunch of old lures like these. I'd like to find out more about the lures someday and a creative way to display them. (more about the history, not the value: they'll never leave the family!)
Great gallery and info. I have some Heddons and others from my Dad's tackle box from the 50's, and now know their real names and some history. Bot some at a garage sale that I have used but mostly display as well. wish I had a Nipple though, that one takes the cake and I laughed out loud when I saw it. thanks a lot.
i wish i had a thoren minow chaser
I'd bet all those lures would work still today
i have some antique lures that were my grandpas, some of them are in very good shape, and i used to fish with them until i learned what they were.
i did not see my 1911 patented NEVERFAIL under water minnow ,5 treble hooked 2 prop glass eyed lure ,never used,still in box made by FOUR BROTHERS on the list of great old lures.i am still trying to find the worth of my grandfathers gift to me. any help out there? jvmadigan@yahoo.com
I always like to see older stuff like that (I drive a 75 Chevy and it runs like a beast), I bet they still work, if it caught fish back then it should sill catch fish now.
Some things don't change.
way to go HighCountry, to some people there are some things they have that no amount of money will make them part with.
those are some cool lures there definitely alot different from what we are used to seeing these days
Awesome representation of old scholl lures. Makes me want to pull out grandpas tackle box!
I would still use a lot of those!
Good pics that show how much lures have changed over time. The first one is nice
those are pretty sweet, look up the glass minnow lure, its like a glass vile, that you put your minnow in to keep it from getting torn up when fish bite, its pretty crazy
The craftsmanship of these fishing lures are amazingly beautiful, I have to say. And I would just love to start collecting these kind of lures. To me, it is Art.

Excellent post. Thank you for sharing. All the best. cheap car insurance for women
I saw this awesome lure at a show once and they tested it against some of the competing ones here and it seemed to have been the most effective. However, they didn't try it with a good range of other types of fish so it could be kinda bias.

I'm glad I took some of my grandpa's tackle now, even though I never knew then it would be a collectable, I wish I would have kept the box too!
I do not use these anymore! they sit on the shelf so I can admire them and think about grandpa. He used to drive to lower southern Michigan and buy a whole bucnh and bring up to the Buick plant to sell to friends he worked on the line with, one of his buddies is still alive and has his old tackle still with the boxes, pretty cool!
