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 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!

Additional Info

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.
