I know nothing. Don't believe I have ever been fishing in my life. A box lot auction buy has made me the owner of some stuff with hooks on them and I don't have a clue.
I have metal things that have names on them such as Daredevlet, Thindevle, Paul Bunyan Mousee, Bunyan Shinner 69, The Bat, etc. I have wooden ones (mostly small .5 inch ones with hooks and "hairy" things covering the hooks) but there is one long one called Kautzky Lazy Ike. The wooden ones look homemade and most have very bad paint jobs (not necessarily from age or use -- the original paint looks amateurish) but may still be functional.
As you can see, I was telling the truth that I know nothing! LOL
Some of them are rather neat looking like the Daredevlet and Thindevl as they are red and white have a picture of the devil on them. I also have something called a Kush Spoon that has very interesting colors.
Okay, I need help deciding what might be better to auction as one/small lot and what might just need to be put in a box lot and let go that way. I guess I also need help on terminology for these "thingys" with hooks.

Sounds like most of those are not that old. The Daredevil items are quite common. I would take up fishing. It is a fun sport. Otherwise, look for those items in a search to see how and if they are selling. That should give you a good idea on how to try and sell them.

Old fishing lures are doing good. I fished by I only used a Johnson Spoon. Put those names in the eBay search and see what comes up and don't forget to search the completed ones also.

The names you have listed are all pretty much easy to find stuff. Lures need to be in very good condition or very rare to bring big bids. Lures that I was selling 3 years ago for over $100.00 are now selling for around $25.00
