A Look at the Value and Rustic Charm of Antique Fishing Lures

Fishing lures are items that are similar to baits to which fish get attracted. Conventionally, live worms or such other small, living animals were used for the same purpose. But later even artificial fishing lures were used. Artificial baits could be reused each time. These antique fishing lures have become popular have become popular collectible items over the years.

The oldest lure manufacturing company was established in 1860s.  The first commercially made lures were available in Michigan and Ohio. The companies that made these artificial fishing lures were Heddon, William Shakespeare Jr and Pflueger. They dominated the fishing lures market for above 40 years that is from 1900 to 1940.

The antique fishing lures date back to the time. In 1898, the fishing lures were carved frog shaped lures attached to broom sticks. This simple kind of lure was successful in attracting fish to it. From there, began the idea of commercially prepared artificial lures.

The antique fishing lures are classified based on the size, weight, material, color and many other more factors. These fishing lures could help catch any kinds of fish. Moreover the condition and the age of the lures were important for determining its value. For example, a ‘mint’ lure in a very good condition fetches far more than the one in an average condition.

Sometimes even the paint was considered as an important factor in deciding the value of lures. Metal lures also had a great commercial value. many collectors and buyers were even interested by the rare plastic lures as they had longer life and were comparatively cheaper.

The wooden lures were much popular than any other kinds of lures. These lures were made available for casual use from the 1800s. Wooden fishing lures dominated the market from 1915 to the 1950s.
