I walked into a garage sale a few months ago and found an old timber dutch cigar and when I opened it up Big smile here were 2 original rubber floppy's 1 medium green and 1 medium orange still in almost mint condition...the only thing I can see is a little bit of rust on the claw hooks but most of the hooks still have thier shiny coating.
I've not seen these lures in 30 plus years and am wondering what they would be worth today....any feedback would be great thanks crew

G'day mate, values seem to be up and down, depending upon who wants what and when and who else is chasing them. I have seen near new in box with original paperwork go from $50 to $120 recently - but I don't do Ebay so I don't know what is going on there.

Martin-

you don't havta be pretty to fish

Hi pickers, must of been a nice surprise for you.
If they are near mint then you should get 50 dollars everyday, but as martin said, prices vary...40 dollars one day 100 the next.
