FlipnLimits Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Y'all be funny! At 62 yrs old, baits that aint 25+ yrs aint old! LOL, that's what I tell the 22 year olds I fish against.... then I pull out the Josh 11A and they call me grampa. I have used this trailer from my start, granted plastics get the nod most of the year.

basscatcher8 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I expect a resurgence in the Rapala DT line, especially the DT6 Â Â Â Â Â Hard to believe those have been out as long as they have lol. I bought some when they first came out and they are still in the box. Havent been used a whole lot. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I have a Rebel Deepwe R and a few old jitterbugs in my 'Retired baits' tackle box.  I now am thinking to get them back out...      The DeepWe R is in the bottom right cormer. Kind if hard on the eye though.  Why is the Clackin Rap DC10 in the retried baits box? I just picked one up on sale pricing. It remindes me a of Dt-10 crossed with an Xrap.   Quote

hoosierbass07 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I forgot one. I still fish slider heads and slider worms    Thanks a lot.  I never heard of those before.  When I looked them up and read about them I said - I have to get them now and add them to my collection!!!!  Now I'm starting to get interested in Charlie Brewer Sr. Slider worms.  lol.  Quote

His book "Slider Fishin" is a good read, which explains Charlie's 'Do Nothing' technique.   Roger 1 Quote

Talonman Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Why is the Clackin Rap DC10 in the retried baits box? I just picked one up on sale pricing. It remindes me a of Dt-10 crossed with an Xrap.   That actually was an 'active tray shot', but I decided my DeepWe R was a little hard on the eye, and moved it into my 'retired box'.  This is my retired box with the DeepWe R and some real old JitterBugs... The Bill Dance firetiger has a chipped bill. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 610 clackin rap not DC10. Too many XCS baits on the brain I suppose. What are those neat looking joined bluegill looking things? What is in that 2nd cavity from the top far right? Looks like super shallow/wakebait bomber.  Quote
Talonman Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Unknown...  Can't remember what they are, but I do have two of them in there...  Quote
MacP Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Unknown...  Can't remember what they are, but I do have two of them in there...     i'm not sure what those are but you need to unretire those kwikfish and send em my way! Quote
plumworm Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Those Lazy Ikes in that retired box need to be fished. Show them a little love and they'll love ya back. edit: I looked again at the picture, they're flatfish (double front hook) Same advice though.  Quote
Talonman Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 You get 1/2 your wish... They are now officially back out of the retired box...  And going into my G2 tray, awating the arrivial of my other 3 G2's.  Quote

Show them a little love and they'll love ya back. edit: I looked again at the picture, they're flatfish (double front hook) Same advice though.  I used my flatfish in the Bordman River growing up in Traverse City Mich. The Salmon liked um when they were running... Along with eggs in small nylon bags (spawn sacks), on tiny 'egg hooks'... We would all stand on the various bridges, and when you had one, you would yell 'fish-on' and we all would reel in. Then you had to make your way around the bridge, over the guard rail, and down the 'usually dirt' bank to a net-man. Good times, and my dad would buy me hot-chocolate while we fished with the boys. I loved those cold nights fishing with my dad. Salmon in the Boardman River, filmed in Traverse City Mich Anyway, I haven't used my flatfish for years. 1 Quote
ROCbass Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Never used it myself, but my dad has a crazy looking jointed frog crankbait in his box that he swears by. I believe its called a crankin' guido frog. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 26, 2014 Super User Posted February 26, 2014 Lazy Ike's Jitterbugs Big-O Floating Rapala  I'm always amazed when I tell people that I use these. They act like only the new lures will catch bass. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I am surprised there are no mentions of the vintage Helicopter Lure, son... Â My serious list that I still use: Mepps Fury #3 Red or Yellow (still made, but I have mine from the 80s) Bagley Bang-O-B minnnows Johnson Spoon Lunker City Sluggo Lunker City Hellgies Phillips Crippled Killers Cooper Loor Frog Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 10 years ago is 2004, 95% of my standard use lures are older than 2004! 20 years is 1994, 80% of what I fish with on a regular basis are at least that old. My jig mold dates to 1971 and fish this jig every outing, hair jig with pork ring trailers. The oldest lure I still use are twin spins w/ football jig head and vinyl skirts with pork trailer, 1968 design. Use musky size wooden Jitter Bugs that date back into the 60's at night. Scroungers that are 80's vintage. Several wooden swimbaits that late 80's to early 90's like Huddleston wooden trout. This list is too long to post. Tom 1 Quote
plumworm Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I still catch a lot of bass on early 90's era Bandits 100 series (square bill) 200 and 300 series. Love those old colors. Quote
Jaderose Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Rebel Craws/Frogs/Crickets, Pop-R, Hula Popper, Rogues, Kastmaster Spoons, Kwikfish, Original Rapalas, Jitterbugs, Popping Bugs, Bandits with triple grip trebles.  My number one are Yo-Zuri Snap Beans. They absolutely slay. Secret of mine.    I forgot all about these.  I had a couple of these in a tackle box that was stolen about 10 years ago.  These things ROCK!!  Also, I throw out my Chrome and Fire Tiger Lazy Ikes all the time.  Catch plenty of bass on them.  They just work!  I also have good luck throwing Mepps Comet Mino's # 4 in both gold and silver.  Had both of them for years.  Polish the spinner blades with ketchup in the Spring and hang on.  Probably my most consistent lure year after year. 1 Quote
