Paul Bunyan "66"

[center][cool][/center][center][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 4]Looking through my collection of old lures [my Dad left to me] came across this 1949 Paul Bunyan 66 lure. Note the price which was all of 77 cents. Today on-line [with the box] they are running about $15.00. Anyone have any old lures about?[/size][/green][/font][/center]

Those look like the predecessor to the Wordens Rooster Tails. I bet that one would still work for many types of panfish.[cool]

I have some older rooster tails and some bass plugs.

I don't have any old lures, but I have about three of those old green Mitchell spinning reels. They were my grandfathers fishing reels, made of good ol' solid steel. Anyone have any of those? What are they worth?

I don't have any pictures of them, never thought to take a picture. I can describe them however. They are a dark green color. The entire reel is steel, spool, line guide, every last piece. The line guide(spinner assembly) looks like stainless steel and is one piece with no roller. They are very heavy reels and resemble the large spinning reels that Penn makes that are black and gold. Go to Pennreels.com, select products, spinning reels, and go to the "Z series" spinning reels. That looks similar to how they look.............Metal handle, steel all the way around, all that good stuff.
