Comfortably Numb Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Anyone remember this givaway from the 80's? One of the better ones along with the Joe Camel crankbait. Interesting that there are no green colors. Not very popular back then. 10 Quote
KDW96 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Really neat Them black/chart hook tail type got me hooked many,many years ago. Quote
Kevin22 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 The black and red caught my first bass! My dad would throw the black/red and black/pink. Quote
lo n slo Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 kinda partial to the tequila sunrise, pumpkin seed, and fire 'n ice over here! Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Black with the powder blue tail were popular too. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted April 17, 2016 Super User Posted April 17, 2016 I caught thousands of bass on that style worm . Looks like they may be Mister Twister Phenoms or Manns Jelly Wiggler . Green worms were not as popular then . Fliptail made a lime green worm that I used a lot . Quote

The Mister Twister cycle tail worms were deadly back In the day as were the Rebel Ringworms. I haven't thrown a cycle tail worm In a long time. 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted April 17, 2016 Super User Posted April 17, 2016 I've caught a ton of fish on a bag of those black/red tail worms. Mister Twister I think. Quote
Mumbly Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I remember that kit from the 80's. That is definitely a blast from the past. I found an unused bottle of Original Fish Formula the other day along with some other tackle that i bought in the late 80's. Always great to find that stuff. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 I found another blue box like this. I think I combined the two into one box. It also came with the lil 4" worms on the right Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Is that Liberace's face on the box? It looks like a cross between Elvis and Liberace. Looks like Ebay has a few for sale and they say its from the 1990s. $16.00 to $50.00. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted April 19, 2016 Super User Posted April 19, 2016 that's cool CN! i bet they were mostly used as those would have all been popular worms there! Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted May 1, 2016 Super User Posted May 1, 2016 Here's a sampling of a few baits from the 70's to 90's. They are nothing with much value just an example of what hoarders we fisherman can be.lol There's three Doug Parker Rabble Rouser baits including the unboxed bait that I caught my first seven largemouth on, a Bagley's bait (baby bass) that I bought for a small amount of money at a small tackle shop in Arkansas back in '81. A sinking lazy Ike and aflatfish(?) given to me buy two buddies that got me started on the serious bass trek and lastly a couple of packages of the mid-90's soft cranker baits from Culprit. Enjoy! 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 1, 2016 Super User Posted May 1, 2016 ^^ I have several of those Natural Ike's and Bagleys Naturals . Those Bagleys are beautiful lures . Quote

I bought It because It was balsa and I had never had one before. 1 Quote
