This is what I've picked up over the winter. I have a 2nd Shimano box full of jerkbaits, and two more Planos full of flat sides, square bills, and more traps.

Not really "rare," but old school and somewhat expensive. Some of my Bagley Diving Bs, the large majority of which are older brass wire/lead tuning bill lures.

fishing user avatarWar Eagle 44 reply : 

This one falls into the "just gets bit" category. I'm pretty sure this is the single hard bait that I've caught the most fish on, ever. Still have it, still going strong and catching more fish. I didn't do the best job of showing all the teeth marks that are actually on this bait but you still get the general idea.

I have 2, a pre Rapala wiggle wart in a weird brown/green/red color and a 90's #200 bandit in almost the same color (little less red) I only fish them when I know I won't snag, but they are my all time "catcher cranks"

These are more sentimental than anything. 

 

Upper left: first balsa bait, purchased in '81.

 

lower left and upper right: baits given to me by the two guys that Introduced me to bass fishing.

 

lower right: A crankbait that caught me 7 bass on It's very first trip. It was also given to me by one of the two guys that started me In bass fishing. I fished with It for several more years and one day thought about the history and never got It wet again. It proudly hangs In the fishing closet.

Outside of the eyes, price, and years of production, are there any other differences among the standard and straight eye 110s?

The rattles are different and the old ones were built under pressure and are supposed to be a lot more durable.

I personaly think they are like pre raps and are a lot of hype. Both catch fish but some of the old ones sell for crazy money.

I'm looking for a Pro Blue to add to my collection. The last one I bid on sold for $225.

love the vintage stuff, nice bagleys and great condition, do you fish it still? I get scared using my older stuff, especially the original molds of bagley's balsa, new one's not in same league.

Those things fetch a few hundred dollars if Minn and not Finland, not sure why some are more, I am not good enough with cranks to know the difference between older warts and newer ones, but if they are like the older whopper stopper and bagley's then I get it for sure...Same with older rogues. How deep do warts run, 4-8???? If so not sure why I don't throw them, or is it 17' then I know why I never open them. Thanks. Awesome collection, vintage is the best, can'r replace em.

I wont use the bagleys.  I wouldnt think twice about using those Natural Ikes . Its just that I never caught much off the Ikes. Theres a Rebel natural bass in there too, that I like .

fishing user avatarprimetime reply : 

People use treble guards? Fish take the paint of all the lures anyway, I jam as much into a box as I can and I could care less about scratching. I hate tangles, but I have rubber bands on some, but usually I only clean them end of year or few times, but I only use 5% of what I carry anyhow, keep them aside and the rest is just in case.....

 

My best lures don't have paint left except for the times I use my sharpie on the water, I use my sharpie on new lures, need some chartreuse on my new silver and blue rattle trap, boom, need black at night after losing my Sammy? I decided to take the yellow one that is probably rare and a collector item since I have never thrown it and it is when first came out, but now it is all black from my sharpie...Works great, well, half black, yellow, and white undercoating now.


fishing user avatarCrank Bait Nut reply : 

Well Primetime , To Answer Your Question , I Could Care Less About My Baits Getting Scratched Up As I Fish Them , I Use Treble Guards , Because I Hate Tangles and It Fits My Way To Organize My Baits.

Very nice collection. How do you which ones are worth more than others is there a megabass jerkbait collection handbook.


fishing user avatarHi Salenity reply : 

The straight eyes are by far worth the most, some are worth more than others and it obviously depends on how much someone wants one. Pro Blue is at the top of the list at $200+ but Deadly Black will easily fetch $60-75 used.
