Vintage Lure ID?
« on: Feb 15, 2022, 08:25 AM »
I have three lures that I acquired from an estate sale that are apparently from the 1930s. The white blade looks like mother of pearl or oyster shell and is very finely carved.  The one with the small spinners has a lead body. They came in a box with a bunch of daredevils and only one Sutton spoon so I’m assuming they’re not used for trout (but I was wrong once before, haha). Any help is appreciated.
 Thanks,

They look home made to me.

In the 70s, when our family first started going to Minnesota and Ontario, we'd end up making our own in-line spinner baits and "Little Joe" rigs right at the cabin. All it took was a box of beads, a variety of blades, a handful of hooks, wire, and a nail driven into the deck handrail.

Over the course of time, my dad and "onkoļi" probably made a couple thousand. It was what ya did after a day of fishing. Gear up for tomorrow.
