Need help identifying small lot of fishing lures.

Recommended Posts

I'm just going through an old tackle box left behind by my father and was trying to determine whether to sell it off or give it away.  I'm guessing these are farily common but with my old man you never really knew.  Obviously I never got into fishing, so any help identifying these would be very much appreciated.  Thanks

Going counter clockwise from top left, I would guess the following:

Top left: 2 Renosky Shads, soft paddle tail baits on a ball head

Left side, below the 2 Renosky baits: with 3 treble hooks, Original floating Rapala. It should have Finland stamped on the lip.

Left side, half way down: with 2 treble hooks, Rebel minnow

Left side, below the 2 treble hook minnows: Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring Spoon

Bottom left corner: with the swivel snap, Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon.

Near the bottom left corner are some small crappie lures and a banana type jig head.

Bottom middle: 2 Acme Kastmater spoons (silver). Should be stamped with KASTMASTER and ACME TACKLE CO.

Bottom middle: black (red?) and  white spoon with devil face and treble hook, Eppinger Daredevle

Bottom near right corner: spoon with devil face and 2 small silver blades attached, Eppinger Daredevle Clicker

Bottom right: 5 spoons, 2 white with red stripe, 2 black with white stripe, 1 yellow with 5 red diamonds, all with single hooks, tough to tell which brand spoon. They could be Len Thompson (should be stamped on the back). They could be South Bend or some other knock off brand.

Right side, half way down: 2 Bomber long As, one in baby striper color, one in rainbow trout.

Top right corner: Looks like an older J Plug type lure. Tough to tell which brand it is.  It could be a Luhr Jensen brand lure. If it is wood, it could  be worth something.

Center: is an older A.C. Plug Minnow. That could be worth something on Ebay with the paperwork. It appears to be from before Luhr Jensen, Arbogast, and Optimum baits bought and sold the rights to Allan's baits.

Except for the A.C. Plug and the J Plug type lure, I would give away or use the rest of the lures. They are common and still made.   

I don't think the A.C. Plug Minnow will fetch serious money if it has already been fished and has hook rub marks or paint chips. I would fish it myself. The A.C. Plug Minnow and J Plug type lure are the only 2 lures I see worth the effort of selling. Without more pics and measurements it's tough to tell what the J Plug type lure in the top right corner is.

I hope this helps.

Jim
