Vintage fishing stuff – worth anything? Restoring old boat
I restore old boats and this gear came with my 50’s aluminum boat. Is any of this gear worth anything? I can’t find some of the stuff on google. Can anyone shed light on the plug buggy or any of the lures?

I wouldn’t pay a cent for any of that stuff.

Not really a market for vintage hardware like lures and terminal tackle unfortunately. The only vintage things that might draw interest are specific rods/reels and maybe sealed unopened vintage lures.

Vintage, but that makes me feel old. I had that exact fly reel as a kid.

That fish catching system thing is interesting. There is no info about it, just a person had one listed on eBay once. If you really want to know about it take it to the oldest, crustiest, fishing shop you can find and see if they remember it.
Edit to add, looks like snake oil of the day lol.

Looks like a bunch of rusted junk unfortunately.

Nah.
Most of it is just old junk.
Those nets often corrode at the bolts and break. Ask me how I know.
The tackle boxes are flooded and rusty. You could shine stuff up and replace the hooks if you wanted to, though, and have it for yourself.
The old clip on light is worthless.
That thermometer is pretty cool. I’d give you a buck for it at a garage sale.
