year old tackle

[hitek]

My dad gave me his old fishing tackle spinners, crankbait, jigs, etc. I know the stuff hasn't been open for at least 20 years most of it is 25-30 years old. will they still be good to use, there isn't any rust or mold no them.

Thanks

Take a look at the hooks too.. might need to touch 'em with a file or replace a few.

Welcome aboard hitek and thanks for the good question.

Be sure to check the condition of any plastic items too. Some of the plastics will go bad after time.[cool]

any unopend ones you may want to concider as wall hangers.. They may not have a cash value now, but one day they will, and if any of them are wood, they do have a cash value now, they quit making the majority of lures out of wood a good number of years ago...
