    Found an old box with lures in it

    Most of the stuff is pre 70's I think. Do I have anything of value?The reel looks older than the 70's

    Somebody out there collects them. It's worth a lot more with the box from what I've seen.

    The last one is a bayou boogie. One of the best pond baits there ever was. I used to catch a ton of bass in farm ponds with that lure.

    I have 3 of the Pflueger Akrons, they were plentiful, worth maybe 5 bucks.

    I've drifted many shiners with a reel like that.

    That Smithwick is not a devilhorse! They made a bait without the props. I don't remember the name but I have one in my garage!
