antique lures

[balapickerel]

i found some of my grandpa's old crainkbaits and spinners and noticed that more than half of them were painted white with red fronts. i wonder if thats the case with most antique lures or if its just a favorite pattern in the waters my granda used to fish. if you see any antique lures please post a picture.

The red and white is pretty common in the antiques. It's not just your grandfather's favourite.

I was at an auction recently and saw some nice antique Heddon lures. I wish I had stayed to the end when they were auctioned off. If they have any at the next auction I go to, I'll definitely grab em and post some pics.

thanks for the info. by the way most of the lures i found were in great shape in terms of paint and body. the only thing that needs to be replaced are the hooks.
