· #1 Posted July 31, 2019 I found an old salt that is blowing out his collection of plugs. I'm not much of a collector but this seems reasonable. He wants $250 for 36 plugs. Does anyone see anything particularly worthwhile here? 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #2 Posted July 31, 2019 That's $7/plug Can't hardly buy used modern day Gibbs lures for $7 each... TimS 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked if he had any by Gibbs, Musso, Beachmaster, or Pichney. He has no idea, so I'm going to take the gamble. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really a gamble unless you are planning to resell them - for $7/plug the cool, old plug factor alone makes it worth it TimS 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #5 Posted July 31, 2019 There have to be a few goodies in there The rest can be resealed, fresh hooks, and fished - you're good for plugs for years 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually fish bucktails, soft plastics, and sp minnows. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wants $250 for 36 plugs. Does anyone see anything particularly worthwhile here? Quite a variety and I can tell you for sure that there are 14 Creek Chubs in the lot. Muskies were mentioned and although they could be used for muskies, in my opinion, buy the selection of other lures there, I would say that this fisherman was definitely targeting strippers. There are even a few salmon plugs . 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #10 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) OK, so I ended up purchasing the lot. On the other side of the room are a bunch of freshwater lures. I may go back and buy those too. We have quite a few classic Creek Chubs with glass eyes and they do look quite old. I'm going to try and get rid of those as I'm not a collector and see if I can break even on the purchase. Also found two Lucky Strike, a Heddon, and two masterluhrs. Don't know much about those or their value.
