Tackle Box Find

[galileo2]

I bought a tackle box from a garage sale recently. The box was full of tackle, most of it still in its retail packaging. For $15, I won't have to buy hooks, swivels, weights, etc. for a very long time. It also had alot of pre rigged soft plastic worms, by alot I mean 30 assorted sizes and colors. The brands include Bass Stopper, Original Anise, Do-Nothing, as well as various bait shop brands. I have never fished these before. Does anyone have any experience with these? Can anyone tell me how to fish them?

I'm also wondering if anyone has found any odd or amazing things in an old tackle box. A buddy of mine found a vintage Rolex a few years ago. Pretty cool.

Ive found quite a few crank baits in garage sale tackle boxes. I also found a bunch of zoom lizards in one. You can get some rad deals.

A few years ago, In-fisherman magazine had an article explaining pre-rigged worms and how to fish them. Basically, it is just cast & retrieve, but there are a few wrinkles you can do.  How the hooks are set into the worm will determine if the worm spins a little or a lot or not at all.  Different days might require different actions.  This is one of the few baits where snap swivels help in reducing line twist.   Don't be a cheapskate, buy quality ball bearing swivels and a good cross lock snap or something similar.

 

I don't fish these worms myself very much, but I just remember the article.

I buy every yard sale tackle box I find. One creek Chubb pad hopper will be worth it. Some Old original cranks can pay big money
