billmac Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 What are the lures you can no longer buy that you would love to make a comeback? I used to love throwing the Heddon Mud Bug, but honestly I don't think I actually caught that many fish on them. 1 Quote

Super User MassYak85 Posted February 23, 2020 Super User Posted February 23, 2020 Probably going for the low hanging fruit here but Uncle Josh's pork trailers. 6 Quote
papajoe222 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 The River Runt in the smaller size. Just a great crank for river fishing, or anywhere. 3 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted February 23, 2020 Super User Posted February 23, 2020 How about bringing back Rapala crankbaits that cost less than $5 7 1 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 23, 2020 Global Moderator Posted February 23, 2020 I never fished one but some old timers that would know said the cotton cordell king spot was the best plug going for a long time. I sure would like to try one 1 Quote

I still have a few and have caught numerous bass 5 to 8 lbs with them in early prespawn conditions . For some reason they havent worked very well for me at other times . I'd like to see Manns bring back the 6 inch jelly worm . My number 1 bait of all time . ASlso the Rogers Big Jim in the smaller size . My number 1 squarebill ever . 1 Quote

The other oldie producer for me was The Hellbender ~ I thought that little spinner on the back was 'Magic". Big 'floater' that one so it required a commitment to get & keep deep. Great on the troll though. A-Jay 2 Quote
Logan S Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 There aren't really any that I'm falling over myself to scrounge for them on eBay or anything...But there's a handful of baits that are or used to be productive for me that I would pick up if they were readily available at normal retail prices... UJ Pork Rebel Deep Wee-R Lucky Craft Redemption Spinnerbaits Havoc Devil Spear Yum Wooly Bully Jackall Bling WEC/Zoom Cranks - Would be nice to have some backups to the ones I like without paying the crazy prices right now. Probably a couple more I can't remember too. 3 Quote
Steelhead Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Arbogast Mudbug Arbogast Sputterfuss Heddon Dying Flutter Humper(I can't remember the company name. Basically a Cotton Cordell Big O knock off.) Mann's Stingray grub Rapala Countdown Jointed minnow(Lost my last one last season.) Quote
Tizi Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 I have an old Bass Boss tackle box full of Tom Mann baits: the hackleback series, the pig and hawg cranks, jelly worms, etc. I wish those were still produced. Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 The Spence Scout crankbait with the dual line tie...deep or shallow. I do even know who made it it has been so long. Quote
Super User king fisher Posted February 23, 2020 Super User Posted February 23, 2020 Rebel Deep wee R , but make them so the hooks can't catch each other. Original Bomber, orange, with black herringbone. 2 Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted February 23, 2020 Super User Posted February 23, 2020 I also would like to see the Rebel Deep Wee R come back and the original Rapala Rattling Fat Rap. These were two of the best crankbaits I ever had years ago. Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted February 23, 2020 Super User Posted February 23, 2020 7” Optimum A.C. Mag Shad (‘cause I’d like to retire it) and the original Black Dog Baits Shellcracker 3 Quote

JoePhish Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Mister Twister used to make a tube that had a lizard (or goby?) head. I don't remember the name of them but I still have a few being held together by Mend-It. Also, bring back DTs in gold. 1 Quote
