Fishing Lures

[Justice70]

I jumped the gun on these lures today. Overpaid for them judging by what I have seen so far. I thought the Millsite Wig Wag floater would have been a good one but it looks like it might bring 2 bucks on a good day. I paid 7.50. the hula popper I got because it felt like wood. I knew plastic ones were not worth much but it looks like the wood ones are about the same. The Jitterbug has been re-painted....ugh. The little red lure is odd. It has a name I cant make out on the top, it has a lip on both ends and looks like it also had a skirt at one time. The name looks like it says something Dano?? You win some and you learn from some I guess. Any one know what the little red lure is? Bassmaster?

Yeah, sorry I will have to try again later. I have tried 3 times but the pic is not uploading for some reason. I will try again when I get back from Cracker Barrel.

What did you pay for that jitterbug? The plastic lip type was made in WW2 because they wanted to use the aluminum during the war.

Wait, is that lip plastic, or just painted red?

If wood, the hula popper would have been a gold mine. Fred Arbogast who is the maker of Arbogast bait company carved a prototype back in the beginning out of wood. The others are plastic. The wood ones are worth a ton. Check this out.
