In other words... have you ever seen those guys who go snorkling at golf courses to collect golf balls that fall in the ponds and canals? They collect a crap load, and resell them for a few bucks. Some guys have made some good money doing this.

Is there an interestd for lures. Heck People must lose a crap load of lures, sinkers, weights and hooks. I could see the hooks and little items being a PITA to do, but lures. would people buy them??
 
It just to tedious you know there will be a lot of balls in those small ponds but at a large lake its would be to time consuming.
 
If they are antiques yes, some people collect antique fishing lures, but I think they would be rusted up and garbage by now. There is a market for antique fishing lures though. I do find rooster tails and stuff like that by creeks, I normally just add it to my lure container. I would buy what you found depending on what it was, but the problem is water works pretty hard on the hooks, they rust up real quick.
 
I would buy hard to find lures, but since we have the net i dont think u have a big market for uses lures

It depends on where you live really. If its somewhere that fishing is a mainstay then you could probably find a market for them. Down here in florida you could definitely find someone to buy. As for myself i keep all lures i collect it saves me a ton of money so i never have to stop fishing.
