Who Uses "Antique" or Collectible Lures to Fish With?

[plbass]

The oldest lure I use is Zell Rowland Zara Spook with the 3 treble hooks.

Bagleys balsa baits, rebel deep wee r's, all still catch bass for me.

Bagley's balsas

Bagley double spin balsa minnow

Arbogast inline spinners. Bought a large supply of the blades off an ebay seller who has a lot of old stock arbogast hardware so I can make my own.

Bucks inline spinners with bucktail skirts.

All my storm lures are pre rapala. Most from early 90s

Creme worm that coils like a slinky.

Don Iovino retro hand pours. Picked them up last week on eBay.

Original 1980s Rapalas made in sweden

Arbogast wooden blooper. PopR style popper

Love the Bagleys Mighty Minnow. Been my go bait for years. They are getting harder to find and pricey. But I'm always looking for them.

Bagley's Bang-o-lure with the brass hook hangers - Gold with black stripes with tail spinner. It's a big fish bait

I could never be a collector because I would end up fishing with it.

I have several shad raps made in Finland and I usually have one tied on a spinning reel this time of year.

I used one from the 80's today.

Most everything I use is old,antique
and outdated.Have an x49 in the
dash and an eagle ultra classic
up front.

Only have a few that are older than 40, because I had most of my stuff stolen about 32 years ago. I do have some topwaters that are much older, that I throw now and then because they catch fish. Wish I still had the really old bass oreno's and flatfish, great baits.

I do throw quite a few things that I brought 32 years ago as replacements.

Oh yeah, I've caught a lot of fish on flatfish

I still use a SK 38 Special spinnerbait

I’ve got 35-40 year old lures I still use. Starting to put most of them up though.

Ha, that's good. I still had an Eagle Strata 128 on the bow of a 1996 boat until I got rid of it in 2018. I probably bought that locator in the late 90's.

Does anybody still throw really old lures every now and then; say 40 years old or older? I like to use Heddon River Runts. Occasionally I will buy them when I find one in very good condition at a reasonable price. I also like a Shakespeare mouse. They are hard to find in good condition with a tail for a decent price however.

I have some older mice type baits. Would you mind IDing?

I’m down to my last Mighty Minnow. Look for them on eBay every now and then, need to pick up a couple more. Down to my last couple spintail BangoLures and KB1’s from the early 80’s.

Deep Wee R’s and Model A Bombers from the 80’s. Poe’s 400’s, clear Torpedos, clear Spook from the 80’s-90’s. Still have a couple chrome Bomber Long A’s from the mid 80’s-late 80’s.

Still use every trip a few 6’6” Shimano Speedmaster Rods. Son sent me a pic a few weeks ago holding a decent bass, was playing around with one of my Speedmaster 5’6” pistol grip rods with a Curado 100B. Still use a burgundy Team Daiwa Brauer flipping rod every trip.

Sorry Ryan, I actually know nothing about them. There is an antique and collectible lure forum on this site. Perhaps somebody in there would be able to tell you specifics on them.

[T. Hill]

Still wearing em out on the long bill rebel.

[Cape Fear]

Some of the 40 year old or older lures that I still throw are Bang O Lure, Bomber Model A, Devil Horse, Mirror Lure, Creme worms and Jelly worms.
