What is your oldest lure?

[Duyz72]

I would love to know how old is your oldest lure? And are you still using it?
Or do most of you dispense with older lures because:
a) bust offs, or
b) you buy so many new ones? (we all know this is the real reason )

Is there anyone who has a lure more than 20 years old and still catching fish on it? I would love to hear about those!

i collect old lures and have some old floppys,aeroplane spinners, peter newell kaidicthas and so on , i dont dare to use these as they have a increase in value if you can pick up some in good condition. about the only lure i do use when im at the coast is aold wonder wobbler. cheers bdowdy.......

yep, an old wonder wobbler for me too..had it too long to remember...It's scarey, my dad got it for me when I was a kid...that's over 40 years ago...still catching fish...bouncing it off the sand banks at Straddie for flatties, to off the jetty at Bamaga for Queenies and its still catching fish. If I keep reminiscing I'll get misty so I'm off..

have some old trout spinners that my late pop made in the fifties to fish the small streams in tassie,toooooo scared to use them as i might lose my last memories of my times with pop fishing the highlands in tassie.

I have a small tackle box of small (mostly 1" and less) of small fish shaped metal trout lures, some have no paint left on them and there are a few that have never seen water. Most of them would be inexcess of 30 years old
