I sure wish I had found one of these in grandpa's old tacklebox.

Wow....kind of sad though.  I hope he held on to a few things.

WOW!!!!

Seller is from my home town as well

What a cool find.  Especially for the lucky collector who wins the item.  

Wow that's really cool thanks for sharing

Wow  and for such a reasonably low price too. Looking at lures like this makes a couple things come to my mind

-If this thing caught fish, What in the !@#$ is my Spro Frog or LC Sammy doing wrong??!

-If this thing caught fish, fish are alittle dumber than we take them for.

- Whoever bought this lure, shame on you. I understand the nostalgia in a lure like this, but COME ON!! 10k+ for a LURE??!! theres people that are so hungry in this world that EATING a live frog is something that they would do in a hearbeat. And this guy is buying $10,500 pieces of wood??? yeah yeah, piece of history too, but when it comes down to it, its about 3 inches of WOOD and some metal. I can't sit here and tell people what to do with there own money, but wow.  :-[

winning bid 10850 dollars

Ummm..I am getting that the item is no longer listed....anyone else getting this?

I guess eBay took it down.  It was a old fishing lure that sold for over $10,800.00
