The most valuable lures are usually made of wood and have glass eyes. Some very rare examples can be worth more than $20,000. Most won’t be nearly that valuable, however, and price out between $25 and several hundred apiece. The sampling of lures in the following list falls into the low-to-moderate price range and would be seen as beginner’s lures in the eyes of an advanced collector. These are the types you will find most often at estate sales or poring through grandpa’s old tackle box. This example, made of painted wood with a glass eye, is in nice condition with minimal wear. It sold for $100 (not including buyer’s premium) in a Morphy Auctions live webcast event in November 2015.
