"Opening up a old tackle box is to open a window to the past"
Collecting antique lures takes time and patience and research.
This is a labour of love which can be frustrating rewarding all at the same time is a growing hobbie.
Their is so much history in a old antique lures one can not begin to imagine..
If only some of these brave old lures could talk i wonder what stories they would tell.?
From huge muskie that lurked around them, to the long fought out battles with fish by a raging rivers edge. To be reliable enough to counted on to feed a whole family when in need is impressive to me.. Not just that Imagine being so needed your silently slipped into the pocket of your closest fishing pals shirt quickly with a smile. that Makes me laugh but happens often.
I think maybe that's why serious anglers have a relationship with their lures.
Is a tackle box just a box full of old rusted worn out metal and wooden lures? As some would like to call em?
I THINK NOT!!
Lures are like windows to past memories in a anglers mind..
they are sealed for a time then opened shared but never forgotten.
The rare grandfather lures as i like to call them are my favorites.
Aged by time and chiseled with character, the battle scars of wars waged on them are proof of their value and rank in the tackle box.
So please if you have some older lures treat them kind they could be older than your great grandfathers fathers ..
What i do not like is people who think just because a lure has a bit of wear or a few marks on it
its worth half as much!..
I would rather have a real old warrior over a FAKE remake any day :)
So now if any one questions your love for antique lures you will have some thing to say.
JUST say they are priceless because they are .
