Garage sale lures

plug · 07-09-05, 04:51 PM

Today my mom bought 10 bags of lures for 50 cents a piece. There were about 4 lures in each bag. I got around 20 cranks, 3 rat l traps(one brand new), 8 spinnerbaits with no skirts, 5 mepps spinners, 2 older hula poppers and 2 buzzbaits. All of it is probably around 10 years old but hey for 5 bucks you can't go wrong. I just thought i'd let everyone know what a good deal i got lol.

A lot of times those lures, unless incredibly bent out of typical shape, will still do fine.

If the hooks are rusted, just scrape it off with some pliers.

yep, some of them are bent and dull so i'll hafta replace a few.

Heck they worked back then , maybe the fish haven't seen anything like them and will bite.
Only word to the wise I an tell ya if its really rusty a hook will break into first hit
