39 Fishing lures found wading

[mike b]

I've found hundreds of lures over the years in shallow water, most are worn so bad they're garbage. Some are good enough to give away and a few I've cleaned up to use myself. Unless you find them soon after they've been lost the hook is rusted away. I rarely find a 100% good one. Hopkins of all sizes, Castmasters all sizes and Krockadiles, and some unique ones. I don't have the space to keep them so I get rid of them when they build up. This is what 39 lures look like hanging from a wire in the basement, and this is from around October to now (March).

A lot of those I would put new split ring and hook on one end and a new split ring w/swivel and tie on and try until I loose it again.

Once and a while I'll do that but I'm not a great fisherman.
