Discontinued Lures and lure colors

[backwater4]

Culprit used to make a 4" straight tail worm that was very good. It's bad enough I can't get these anymore, but they also had a color "chocolate mint" that caught when others didn't.

My dad and I take quite a few trips up to Canada for pike and lake trout. We found that a Rapala weedless spoon with a split tail drives the pike insane.  It will outfish a silver minnow any day of the week. Luckily we scooped up 50 or so for <$3.  They are atleast $8 on ebay now ;D

The one discontinued product, not a lure but a line, that really gets my goat is Stren Super Braid. Final draw for me and Stren of which products I have been using for over 20 years. Won't be buying there products anymore for they discontinue stuff as fast as they put it out so what's the point of building up confidence in something that's only around a short time.

As for lure's, Charlies Worms went belly up this year so I guess you could say my favorite line of soft plastics has been discontinued.

Colors, not sure if it discontinued but it sure is hard to find Culprit style worms in blue firetail these days.

I did not know this. >

I somewhat stocked up on a few bags of my favorite color(s) , but this is a worm that has some family history so I will have to start the internet search for what is still available.

I'd like to find some more Rebel Wee R's in Ole Bass and Rapala Down Deep Rattlin Fat 5 in Shad.

Anyone????

Folks I find the old lures ,manymentioned in this post at flea markets. I saw 7 spittin images still in the pack yesterday. Most were the large sizes I think two were the smaller ones. I have 3 in my box that might be in loose hands. I saw the square a in the chrome with the blue stripes went back to get it and watched a lady pick it up for two bucks. I have a box of risto raps oin like new condition that could be bought too. Drop  a PM if interested. I may still be able to get a hold of the images also.

The Spit-n-Image is still on the shelf of the Bass Pro here in s.w.florida. Its also listed on bass pro's web site but only in 2 colors. Look under saltwater baits.  Its sad to hear about Charlies Worms. They held a great scent and were prestty cheap too. lad I have a stock of black 10"ers.

I'd be very surprised if anyone remembered this.

There used to be a company by the name of Toledo Tackle that had a bait called the Marsh Minnow. It was about a 3" long paddletail bait that I used to rig onto a round ball jighead and absolutely killed with them.

Then again, maybe they were a small mom and pop company as I could only get them from a long gone independent tackle store. I never saw them in any major stores.

Mister Twister soft jerkbaits. They kind of look like a slug-o, but with a more defined face. My dad gave me a pack about five years ago and I have about a dozen left.

I love the Risto Rap and dow deep fat raps!

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Stanley baby titanium spinnerbaits.

Guaranteed to catch bass in any body of water.

Thanks for the lookout Rayraff. I found that site too and, unfortunately, they're not the baits. The ones I used to get were more realistically shaped and detailed, down to the raised scale pattern. Almost ahead of their time back in the 80's

The Shannon Twin Spinner. I know some of the older guys remember these spinners with the hair body. They made one with a black maribou body that flat out caught fish!

[Blue Streak]

The old deep Rebel Humpy and deep Wee R in that old brown crawdad color. The new brown color just is not as good and they don't make that Humpy any longer.
