Probably super niche, but from what I have seen,there is a fairly healthy market for vintage baits/balsa baits, think old heddons, bagleys, arbogast, Etc. I think some of the pros I have seen over there are wiggle wart collectors. I know the silly style guys out there are buying all the cherry vintage trigger grip fenwicks, Lews and the like, and vintage abus as well.

Japanese anglers go off for some of the older fiberglass rods,i.e. Phillipson's in good shape. Featherweight Champion rod handles are a bit draw.
