    Default "WANTED" Fishing Lures Cheap, about 50 to 100

    Where can I order fishing lures cheap....? Not some whiz-bang-fangled dangle newest wonder lure, but plain old tried and true spinners and spoons, etc....?

    I just bought two more pack pack rods and open face spinning reels, and I had one set-up for pack back fly-fishing rod and reel.

    I bought two bulk-pack cards of Mepps Spinners at Walmart, but they were not cheap, there has to be an on-line retailer.

    I used to get catalogs from these folks. everything from molds and rubber to premade lures on the cheap. If you want something they ain't got, you can make it yer own self, jess the way you likes it.
    done a few of the carved poppers and such, nothing to write home about, but they always had good service and kept sending me catalogs for ages.

    I have a stupid question while you are here and on the subject. Does it ever get to cold up there to fish? ie Will reels freeze up?
    Ken has helped me out so much with legal stuff, I need to keep track of it so I can pay him back. I will be placing a 'score card' in my sig as a reminder.

    I do not Know........My guess is that because the water is open even if the air is -20F* I think one would have all kinds of reel problems and that it would be impossible. But I am not a sport fisherman.

    Ours freeze up here. I'll put light grease/ oil in mine in the winter and change it out in the summer.

    Bass Pro Shops, Gander Mtn, and Cabelas have online stores and used to have good deals on lure packs. I haven't bought any lures in a while and usually just pick em up if I find em on sale.

    Yes, I was thinking more about the wet line freezing on the spool.

    Some guys will wd40 the spool and line, or wax the eyes of the rod. I just deal with it, but I've never fished in -20 weather. Maybe 0-20, but not minus 20.

    Take your rod, through it in the back of the truck, drive over to Anchorage and buy whatever kind of fish you want. -20 is TV weather, not fishing weather.

    Are you setting up an emergency set up?

    Anyway I have several small kits made up, my favorite lures are the small (about 1-1/2")bright red worm double hook rigs.
    Use to get then for about .50 cents for two.

    Can't find them made up anymore, so made up some up using the pac's of different colored worms.
    Have caught just about anything on them, trout, bass, walleye, blue gills as well as turtles.

    If I was to pack a basic kit, it would include, several size hooks, 12 lb test mono line/something to put it on, couple of corks/bobbers, several sinkers and these worn rigs.

    Yes Hunter, All we have around here is Salmon and Steelhead, Rainbow, Dollies. I figure if the SHTF big'time, then it will never be "Nornal" again in my life time. So I want enough of everything to last 15 years, boots, socks, coats, gloves, everything.

    I hear ya, wise counsel, tending to redundancy and to deploy assets, my self, but in addition to SHTF my reasons are a little different.

    Good thing that as we get older and can't remember where stuff is, we can at least stock a LOT of them, whatever it might be.

    I guess as far as fishing goes, I tend to be a minimalist, as I haven't really found a lot of artificial baits that work all the time, my investments are mostly in line, hooks, sinkers, etc.

    I am interested in what you come up with.

    Would you be better off with a throw net and/or gill net? I know you have experience at that.

    Rick, a net is for sure the answer here on the river. There are places you can chase them into the shallows and pick them up or shoot () the big ones with a .22 short. Before someone asks the King Salmon can go up to 90/110 pounds, but most are 35 to 45 pounds.

    Spoons and minnow lures can be made from>>Yes spoons just cut the handle off the spoon and drill two holes one for the treble hook and one to attach the leader. For the minnow lure do the same with the spoon handle.

    Here's some from Wally World. I don't know if they are big enough for Salmon, however.

    around here I just use lead and hooks for salmon and trout. Spawn, waxworms, leafworms, etc. Lotsa folks use flies too.

    We use that one for snagging Bait, Sourdough. Here it is illegal to snag salmon.
    There's a place called Lurepartsonline but haven't used them. I've heard of the above-mentioned jannsnetcraft place before too. Never ordered from them either. I use mostly jointed half-floaters when I use lures at all. Mostly do 'match the hatch' fishing. Or Bunker.
