Anybody know where any of the old Mepps Spinnerbaits, the “safety pin” style, not the inlines, can be found?

 

Are they a collector item now?

 

Also, just curious what do you guys think are the baits today that will be a collectors item in 20 years or more?

 

I have seen some lures on eBay and even pork trailers going for crazy prices.

I'm pretty certain that they will still be making Whopper Ploppers 20 years from now.   I think some of the BPS cranks that were only offered for a season or two might become collector material.  I just threw away my old BPS catalogs this winter, so names of individual baits are escaping me right now.

 

Timber Tigers are rare enough right now that they will become collector material.  It has been a long time since I've seen a "Lazy Ike", I remember in the late 60's - early 70's they were a popular sub-surface bait.
