H.B. Costa Lure
The H.B. Costa Bait Co. - Tampa, FL
The H.B. Costa lure is sometimes
referred to as the Istokpoga Hammerhead. The novel lure design is very popular
among collectors. Costa also made a glass-eyed minnow lure. Hammerheads were
sold by Knight & Wall Co. in Tampa. Lake Istokpoga is located near Sebring about
60 miles southeast of Tampa. H.B. Costa lures are considered to be some of the
great lures made by the Tampa Bay area makers.

If you have a vintage antique fishing reel or lure, I can tell you what it's worth.

I always like to talk about old tackle.
