Fishing Lure Collection. In this segment we talk with Lew Kornman who collects antique fishing lures. Find out some history and interesting facts about some of his collection.
I love this video, Canadian boy here. I have been collecting for about 20 years now. Read the history , bought the books etc. I have about 250 lures in my collection and still learn something everytime I get a new "old" one. Such a great hobby and preserving history.
I don't fish at all but I've always loved looking at the lures. Something about em is so cool. Always was my favorite part of the sporting goods section of Wal-Mart.
My best all time favorite would be the Heddon vampire ...1921 I think with one screw that secures lip and hook hardware together. After that I have many Heddon vamp spook baits in allmost every colour offered in the earlier years 😊
My old man collects them and I’m starting to collect them also . Collection of old rebels in box, collection of cotton cordell, some bomber lures, and some rapalas.
I hear ya...can be pricey. But there is lots of less expensive types a person can collect. Heddon river runts are plentiful ,, many colours and different designs. Jointed, floating, sinking, weedless , illuminues. Many times found 'new in box' nib . Good start , and usually not expensive. Look in local antique stores, yard sales etc. But educate yourself a bit. Know what your buying 😊😊😊
I think the reason so many lure manufacturers are in that area is because that area manufactured a lot of things in the good old days. And its pronounced, dough-wah-jack by the way. I grew up right about in the middle of all those manufacturers. Spent a lot of time fishing Paw Paw Lake, and Little Paw Paw too. My aunt worked at Heddonn in the 60s.
So there's a name for it ? Wormburn.....yeah , I have a couple of lures that would be very nice if they didn't have Wormburn. I love to look at My river runts from time to time. Nothing is wrong with them.

I have my grands fathers lites still in the package they are approximately eighty years old. I’m not sure what to do with them. I have pictures could I give me an opinion. I have pictures if you want to see them. I have his old tackle box. I’m 52 and he’s had then since way before I was born. Where could I send the pictures ?
The one one i wish they would bring back is the bass oreno i have one in mint made of wood red head I've caught a 5 lb something bass then i found out it may be worth money the fish never put a scrach on it !!!!!!
I have found books how to make old lures. How do you tell the originals from a fake ? Ok you have a guy with a lathe and a air brush how can you really tell i have some old plactices and some of these old lures they have brought back!!!!!
