Tackle box find

[dano91]

Found this Wille Bait File with 67 nice bass lures inside. It fell out of someone's boat or truck on the interstate, no name or number on it, but it has a score written on it. Must have belonged to a Pro bass fisherman.

Haha...and I would be crying like a man who lost his tackle!!! LOL
I found a really nice set of heavy duty trailer lights and a case of Pepsi glasses.....but I would have rather found those lures! Nice Find Dano....Do you fish?

Hey, that looks like mine. I've got the exact same Willie bait file and a lot of the same lures. I fish for Walleye on Lake Erie. Most of those lures you can get for about $4. new. The Storm lures are a little more new. Don't know how you would go about finding the owner. Looks like a good ebay item.

Re: Tackle box find: Update

Well I heard about some people in town here that were just getting ready for a fishing trip, and someone broke into their motor home and stole all their
fishing equipment. I searched the internet, and various news papers, and never even saw a report on the lost case.
So I donated it to the people who had their stuff stolen. What goes around comes around....
Maybe it will do my Karma some good, I do fish, but for big cat's and trout.

Dano.

One bait file, black in color, about 65 or 70 various lures inside, blew out of my boat while returning on the interstate from a tournament.

Nice find. I bet a lot of items fall out on the interstate. One hunting trip at night we lost both of our hunting bows in cases when we forgot to put up the tailgate. They slid right out.

I would say it was a local tournament fisherman and not a pro. A pros box would be full of lures. Also most pros get free tackle, lures, and other products so while it was a loss a pro has over a thousand lures. Most lures retail for between $1.99 to $34.99. This guy did have a nice assortment but not enough to be an angler for a living.

Nice call EC makes sense to me. I still never found him [or her] so I asked the people I gave it to, to set the state record with it. Anonymously of course
