Cleaning old lures

[Gdurfey]

its amazing what is "collectable" now vs. junk/ or collected junk. When my folks did an auction to get ready for their last stage of retirement, I let a lot of things go including a lot of tackle and oil field stuff. i do have an old tackle box but not sure if it was brother's or dad's....but since brother is also gone now, not sure it matters. At least I have that.

Marc, you mentioned Hula Hopper...…yep, remember those, the "bomber"...red and white?; long before Repala and all the knockoffs.

Danged, was doing a fly rod inventory - mainly to see what blanks I had to make up and what rods needed work. Opened one tube and immediately recognized the smell. Seems like the reel seat insert on that rod grew that mold/whatever it is on it! Never had a reel seat do that.
