Acquired some new old spoons

[scaleface]

 I have never had any of these spoons  before  .Two Krocodiles ,a Weber , and a three pack of Aqua . Never heard of the Weber or Aqua . Also a Rapala and Rebel floating minnow and Little George . Some elderly guy I know gave them to me . Those Krokodile Spoons look like quality lures .

Heres more . Of interest is a Heddon River Runt , a Bill Lewis Minnow bait , Storm Thin fin , A deep diving jointed Rebel Minnow , a Mirro lure and others . Some will be used some wont . That Thin Fin will be back into action for sure .

I use to hammer smallmouth by simply casting and retrieving a 1/4oz Luhr-Jensen Krocodile spoon!!!! I never used the larger sizes but the reason I stopped throwing them was they were notorious for catching smaller fish. I will also tell you it was a great lure for my wife to use, it didn't require to much skill but just watching the flash and darting action of it coming through the water would make you think it was a real baitfish if you didn't know any better, good score!!!

Your Bill Lewis Slap Stick is another great find!!! I believe another site still has these but I'm pretty sure they're discontinued since they are no longer allowed to be used in the Rat-L-Trap only tournaments. That bait sits vertical in the water because of the tail weighting and when you give it a rip the back end comes up and "slaps" the surface hence the name. There is a cult following for the slap stick so you may want to give it a try.

I am not much help in the spoon department..... but those are two good looking jitterbugs, especially the yellow one.  As you said the thin fin is great, especially if it is an old one.  A baby torpedo and a small bomber model A in that baby bass color have produced huge numbers back up in NY.  Great pick up and good luck with the spoons.

The Krocodile spoons are thick and heavy . First thing I thought of when holding it was to bump bottom  out on points and casting to schooling fish . Looks like a versatile lure . I remember Stanley Mitchell used them in his Classic victory .
