My husband passed in 2013…. He was an addictive fisherman since he was a kid in the 60’s…his dad as well….he did tournaments and all…. I still have his fishing gear…he had a lot of those things in that box… that fish scale for sure….some of his favorite lures were Rapalas that and spinners and rubber worms… great stuff in those boxes

Very cool old tackle box. My grandpas fishing g gear is from the 40’s. We fished all the time when I was a child in the 50’s. The lures are wood. Some still in excellent shape. He made me a cane pole which was shorter for me to handle. I still have it today. And I caught so many fish on it. Love the fly fishing reef. My grandpa had one very similar. Those lures are newer than what my grandpa had. But none of his in boxes. And I know he made many of them. A nice collection of lures you have still in boxes. And yes we fished with the lead weights like you have there. You have a real Treasure of a fishing box.

What fun. Thank you.

Excellent video. The fish de-liar weight scale looks like it also has a built in measuring tape as well! Ahhh the good ole days.

Those old rapalas are a nice find. I love using them for pike fishing. Also that syringe was probably used to blow air into live bait like worms to make them float. A very old school technique. Those Cisco’s are probably worth $40 a piece to the right person. And if you have a very rare colour could be worth a couple hundred.

Quite the interesting tackle box of treasures! My Kootenay Lake/Kokanee Creek holiday was stellar, BTW. 👍😎🇨🇦👌

Have many of those lures myself Jen. But rarely used and that was 40+ yrs ago. Rapalas , and other lures , have become so expensive . Now I sent you a lure which I use for everything from smallmouth to walleye to lakers and speckles. This is from about 10 odd lakes in Algonquin .Only other lure I used was an EGB, which after a day of trolling caught a 2 lb speck. Makes for a small tackle box, which comes in handy for canoe trips. Only know of one lake where the specks like to surface strike. Easy pickins for a fly rod.

Love your video. My ears perked up when you mentioned Tecumseh Ontario because that's where I'm from. Down near Windsor.

I love using old lures, both wood and old plastic plugs. Unfortunately, old lures are the new baseball cards. Most people only buy them to sell them at a high price. I am not interested in a perfect paint job, stick on shelf lure. Fortunately, the chipped paint and scratched ones still catch fish and sell cheaper. Still, it breaks your heart to lose a hard to replace lure. But they were made to catch fish!

The syringe is to inject worms with air so they float off the bottom. Your Rapalas and their boxes are mixed up. Some things in the boxes are not Rapalas. The cotter and shear pin are spares for the guys motor. I have that knife and many of those lures. The fly dope must be hyper toxic.stuff..Interesting stuff. Thanks for the video.

I would love to see you fish with the old bait. My friend goes fishing at KB Lake, north of Wawa. He decided to use a lure from his childhood ( he is 65), he had the best fishing he ever had! He no sooner get the lure in the water and he have a northern on! So you might have some good luck.
