Mine are my HR's for sure
2 8" shakers
5 6" hugheys
1 6" shaker
1 8" enchanter
1 panfish ignitor jr.

Yes slamr, this is a cry for help. Going to gander mountain now, will most likely return with more lures.

That would be the Top raider at 40 CND. Good thing is that it will be hard to lose.

Depth Raiders come in second. Everything from Bucher seems a little pricey.

Beleivers come in 3rd

My RennyBaits Shoal Shocker. Put some nice fish in the boat for me this year on the bay so it was well worth the $100 canadian. Think I am going to have to get another one of those

My "old" field mouse pattern Topraider that I paid more than I would like to say for, but I think it'll be worth it next season.

Looking at some HR's right now on Ebay that'll take over the top spot soon enough I'm sure.

I am thinking my Lelure Mouldy's Hawg Wobbler look-a-like or my #20 of 250 limited edition 25th anniversary Reef Hawg(my brother has #25). Third choice would be a Sleight's Grandpa Jerk Bait, natural wood finish with glass eyes. Not sure if the Sleight's are actually valuable or not, just know I was offered two new ones for the glass eyed one. I do have some sort of lure from the '30's also, gotta be worth at least a $100 so that would be second to the Lelure. I don't use the 30's lure, the Reef Hawg or the glass eyed Sleight. Not sure what else of mine might be valuable..Bagleys 6"&8" B flats, 6" Bagley Shads with written rather then printed model #'s on the baits, Creek Chub Pikie still in box(box not perfect,lure unused).

Joel Wick creeper is my most expensive.  I noticed some guys put down lelures.  I only paid 10-13 bucks a piece for my lelures, what gives???  that was 8 years ago, but I don't think they ever sold for that much in the stores did they?  Just can't see why the big price tag on them now.  I like to use lelure fetch and catches, and these artificial 'values' make it hard for us to find models to fish with now.

Oh ya I fish them, not too much this year but I will get them all chewed up. There is no other lure out there that has such a nice big fish dance.

Lelures usually sold for a low of $17 to a high of $40 when new around where I shopped. It seemed to depend on the lure. Now they sell for around $250 for Creepers in good shape, over $100 for used ones. Supposedly only the topwater Lelures are worth the big bucks as I have a Vixen by Lelure I was offered $25 for. When I saw Lelures at stores it seemed like they had two lines, a cheaper line and the more expensive line. Unlike some who collect them I bought my lelures to use and will continue to use them until one of those collectors offers to pay off my truck loan..lol..

All of my HR's are the most expensive.
My most valuable lure is a Flaptail that my Uncle Stanley gave to me. He died this year

Bulldawgs. Considering the fact that a few of these have been "one hit wonders". 12 bucks/fish is a bit pricey.
