What's It Worth?
Dear Don I have a few of my deceased father's old fishing plugs. Some of them have names like Heddon, PawPaw and Creek Chub Bait Co. Attached to my email is a picture. Are these of any value to collectors?

However, they are perfect for a creating a shadow box display you will certainly enjoy for many years. All of these lures are made by PawPaw, a Michigan based company which was originally known Moon-light. They range in value from $10 to $20. The red/ white bait with the slanted head is a carry over from the old Moonlight line, while the green River Pikie is painted in an old Moonlight pattern. Many collec-tors would love to have these baits.
