I have found about four tackle boxs full of old lures and have no idea how to find a value on these lures. I have Creek Chubs, Bass Oreno's, Mirrolures, and lots of other creations. Lot's of these lures still have original boxes. Anybody know of someone I could contact? Thanks

You can also check them out on ...E-Bay. Antique lures.

You may have fallen into the ----Pot of Gold. .

This guy is a big collector and you could check prices against what he's looking for http://www.antiquelures.com/Prices.htm

The Best book I've heard of is Captain John's Fishing Tackle Price Guide. It's on Google books - but I can't log in from work so it only let me view a few pages - then it said I reached my limit.

Try the National Fishing Lure Collector Club. They may be having a show in your area. Here is a listing of a few.

Go to the show and they will tell you the value of your lures. Also contact someone who is hosting a show and they will put you in touch with someone in your area.
