Favorite Rare Lure Pic

Featured Replies

Well recently it's gotten real bad... started collecting lures as a hobby and don't fish with the vintage ones... some lures I sold I wish I had back are pretty rare now... 2 billy bass lures...

Anyways- I've bought a few really cool looking lures lately and I'll try and get a pic up of one I recently bought... If you have a rare or unique lure, or just your favorite lure pic I'd be interested in seeing it being a lure junkie....

Not really. Old does not always = rare. Your best bet is to find off the wall brands that used to be popular but are no longer around.

wow those are super nice... what is the creek chub worth in the first pic??

I have a small collection of older and newer "Highroller" topwater baits. The bait idea was conceived by Blake Gills many years ago, who eventually sold them through the Smithwick brand. Somehow the ties were lost with Smithwick and a company was born called the High Roller Fishing Lure Company. I think Blake was hooked up with this company for a period of time, but somehow left or was asked to leave. Can't remember the full story.

Anyway, about a dozen years ago I was in contact with Blake for a while and he sent me a matching pair of large and small Highrollers custom painted and signed.

That Heddon torpedo prop bait ( think its an early version of the zara spook like) works pretty well until you get it stuck in a tree.

That one is really cool. I really like that. Good thing I don't have it cuz I probablly couldn't resist trying it out and knowing me I'd probally lose it

Don't really know the value. Have never bothered to check. I've had that particular lure for about 35 yrs. I doubt if my entire collection has any serious monetary value, (don't really know) just a lot of memories and nostalgia.

I was about ready to say, check out the prices on the frog lures. People would be surprised how much some of those are worth.
