Anybody do this in the OB? I am talking wooden ones from the 1930's to 1940's. I personally like the Chub Creek Lures.

I don't but always thought it would be a neat hobby. Any pics from your collection?

I found these in an old shed and want to make a shadow box or some type of display with them.

When I started making my own lures I looked into getting some of the old wooden ones for references, but soon realized a lot of them were out of my budget.

I had a handful of wooden lures at one time. When I was younger and moved from one house to another I had a garage sale. Yes, they went cheap at the time. I made a mistake.

I used to. I've got a bunch that I have never unpacked after we moved. I used to keep'em at my camp on Claiborne, but I sold it and the wife doesn't like them displayed in our house or our new lake house.

I have been thinking about doing this for a long time, but they get pretty expensive. My dad has one old wooden bait that me and 3 of my bros are going to have to fight over when that time comes. He used to have another one that one of them probably ran off with. Who knows though, maybe it just got lost.

My father has 4 display cases full of old lures.

I never thought of them from value perspective; they look great.
