Or should I send it? The torpedo really sticks out, I wonder how affective it is. The reels seem complicated but I want to learn how to use them, I already cleaned them up and re-greased them.

  1. Maybe sell on eBay?
    I don’t see vintage tackle selling for much money very often.
    The market is just so saturated with new and old tackle.
    Display them.

  2. As someone who buys a fair amount of vintage tackle, this would probably not be a hot selling lot. Lures might bring 50-75$ but it may take a while to sell on market place. The older Abu reels may bring $30 a piece depending on your local market. I would fish it. Fishing vintage gear is fun.

    Nothing of high value. All of it will still catch fish though. I still use vintage tackle including old direct drive reels, and it is a blast. Many of the old lures have a better action than the mass produced lures of today.

  4. Lures are crazy hard to sell.

    Every time I try to sell an Abu locally I get nothing but low ball offers but then I put it up on eBay and price it 20% higher or let it auction and do well enough that the 13% they take is okay.

    In your case that means you can maybe get $50 each for those instead of getting a bunch of offers for $20 on OfferUp
