Antique Fishing Lures
from: Rob LoreMore and more anglers are moving away from all the high tech fishing equipment and supplies available on the market today and going back to the roots of fishing. More and more anglers are finding and learning about antique fishing lures. The beauty of finding antique fishing lures is that antique fishing lures truly do have a history, as well as being tried and true fishing tackle.
There are also a growing number of anglers and fishing enthusiasts who enjoy collecting antique fishing lures and displaying antique fishing lures in sporting and fishing fairs and trade shows, as well as selling them online or through various websites set up for collectables.
Collectors, whether for display and historical interest or for actual fishing equipment tend to focus on one or more companies or manufacturers of antique fishing lures. Antique Heddon fishing lures are highly sought after, including the rare antique frog fishing lures.
Some of the most commonly collected of the antique fishing lures manufacturers include Pflueger, South Bend, Shakespeare, Jamison, Creek Chubb and Moonlight. There are other smaller manufacturers of antique fishing lures that are also highly collectable.
Enthusiasts of of antique fishing lures meet at conferences and shows all across North America and even around the world. Antique fishing lures value is increased if they are in excellent condition. Antique fishing lures value is also increased if the antique fishing lures are still in the actual containers they were sold in.
Unlike the plastic packaging currently used, the original boxes are often beautifully designed and printed with the history of the antique fishing lures and date of production. Some of the original boxes and even have fishing tips and strategies printed on the individual cardboard or metal antique fishing lures boxes. The antique fishing lures themselves are still very valuable, even if they are not kept in their original containers.
When collecting antique fishing lures, there are a few key points to consider:
*Estate sales and garage sales are often a great place to find rare antique fishing lures or an old tackle box that has been tucked away for years. Many people are willing to sell the whole tackle box rather than with the antique fishing lures one at a time. Who knows. You may run across some antique Heddon fishing lures, maybe even one of rare antique frog fishing lures
*If you are planning on getting into the hobby of collecting antique fishing lures, be sure to read books, study actual antique fishing lures and learn about how antique fishing lures value is appraised within the collectors group.
*Join the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club or other organization and get good background information on how to trade and appraise the antique fishing lures value that you manage to find and collect.
*If you are planning on using antique fishing lures, be sure you know the antique fishing lures value before you decide to use theantique fishing lures on your next fishing outing.
Finally, remember that any kind of restoring, tampering, repainting or repairing of the antique fishing lures is likely to decrease the antique fishing lures value, so the best advice is to leave the antique fishing lures as they are, rather than try to fix them up before they are sold or traded and ruin the antique fishing lures value.
