My dad has some lures never used and still in original package from the 50's. He has 2 bait casters on 6'6 rods from Bass pro barley used and two 7' rods brand new with original tags from Bass pro that we're $100 a piece. Not sure how to price these. Located in Mt.juliet.

The plugs have to be worth a pretty penny.. Ebay completed auctions will give you a reasonable amount.

That being said, you sure you want to sell??? When my papaw died, I raided his old tackleboxes that he hadn't used in 30 years. Took the best plugs (hula poppers and hellbenders mostly) and put them in a shadow box frame for display in my office. Out of the way on the wall, but every time I look at them I think of my papaw teaching me how to fish in the creeks and rivers in TN. To me they are priceless.

Caught a ton of bass on those thin fins. Some days gold was king other days black was. Always had to re tune them after every 10th or 15th fish

Any of the plastic baits will always be worth less than the wooden baits just because they were mass produced.

With the plastic ones, its all about the rare colors. Even in the box, the common colors aren't worth much.

A card of 24 of the Marble spinner baits just sold on the E Bay for $15.50 if thats any help.
