Tackle box find yesterday

Post by Mike N »

I picked up this tackle box full of lures yesterday (I did clean it up a bit). Since the only baits I collect are Lauby lures, I was just going to offer it at the Weirton NFLCC show next April. But if anyone sees something they have to have, shoot me an email or message. Comments or messages on rarity welcome since I’m out of my lane here. Thanks.

South Bend woodpeckers (thanks, Dr. Baits)

Note: one collector emailed me that he believes the longer one is a Pflueger Magnet.

Nice clean find Mike. Wrong bait in Grumpy box.
I love to get old reels, work on them until they run as smooth as silk and the take them fishing using pre-1960 plugs, mostly surface fishing for Largemouths after dark.

Wow. Nice find. Great condition too. I see a Heddon Pumpkinseed in there. I believe that one has a following.

For any lure collectors who contacted me about the contents of this box, I did list 10 lots this week with the auction at Angling Marketplace.

Yes, Bruce. One flatfish with a nice box plus a second one. Feel free to email me if you are interested and would like a few photos.
