Please note that some Items are also showcased in our Eastern Shore of Maryland brick & mortar shop & other venues. Items subject to prior sale are marked "cool" or "hold & show". PLEASE INQUIRE as we update inventory every few days. Those items are likely still available. Please inquire!

We have just begun listing our vintage lures, some in boxes, some with catalogs. If you are looking for something specific please let us know. I have tried to describe each lure to the best of my ability with the following grading by the NFLCC as a guide: A 10 is NIB = new in box = is unused with original box or carton. A 9 is Mint = M = Unused without box or carton. An 8 is excellent = EXC or Very little age or no age cracks; very minor defects. A 7 = Very Good = VG = Little age cracks some minor defects. A 5-6 is Good = G = Some age cracks, starting to chip, small defects. A 3 - 4 is average or AVG or some paint loss and/or chipping showing age. 2 is Fair of F = F = major paint loss and or defects, much chipping. 1 = Poor = P = Parts missing, poor color and/ or major chipping. 0 = Repaint = R = Original paint covered over in part or all. We WILL Most assuredly make some mistakes, we ask for your understanding.
