I don’t know about any lures, but I do have a number of my Dad’s old Mitchell 302 salt water spinning reels.

Wow, the 1894 version of Duck Dynasty.

Always heard that medium size smallmouth bass were the best eating, better than lunker largemouths.

But nothin’ beats a mess of crappies. That’s why they’re called `panfish’. Your best fish camps serve those.

Ouch! That has gotta hurt after reading this article.

Yes, I could use a nice fishing trip far far away from here.

I used to keep the boxes, but got out of the habit as my box began filling up. Now I wish I had kept them.

Someone will always be interested in paying big bucks for things that were once considered just a tool, toy, or nicknack.

Thanks! It’s been since I was a kid, but I’ve gotten back into a little bit of fishing recently...caught some brook and rainbow trout, but that takes some travel to get to where they are found :-)

You can only keep so much *stuff.*

It warms my heart to know there are still remnants of the *what was* in America.

I still love my eclectic collection of old tools and especially where working hands on them have made a layer of patina.

At least I did not see anything even close to the time that I would have tossed a box from.

I've been finding some bargains at *estate sales* lately. End of this week, there's an estate sale in Brookfield, CT with lures, reels and fishing gear. Looks interesting. See ya there!

I recently sold all my dad’s tackle. This year sales are not as good as last.

named lures sell best. Boxed named lures sell better. $5 is good price. $10 wou ld be very good

On ebay,good pictures. Make a bent wire frame to elevate ad let the hooks dangle for good pictures.
