OK, you've stumped me there!  The Creme brand was pretty much gone when I started fishing.

Ummm...they're still around and still making plastics.

Amazing!  Haven't seen them at retailers.  Good on them - they were pioneers.

 

Edited to add:

Just ordered some old school worms to help support them.  Hope they stick around for another bazillion years!

I think the Creme brand is still very much with us.  https://www.cremelure.com/

Another nod to vintage tailspins. I bought and lost dozens of them below Pickwick Dam and caught lots of smallmouth and white bass back in the 1960's and 70's. I preferred both the Pedigo Spinrite, with an Indiana blade, and Chism's Little Whiz, with a Colorado blade, over Mann's Little George. Their spinners seemed to work better.

 

If you google Pedigo Spinrite and look at pictures, some of them are mislabeled. The Spinrite had a smooth, continuous curve in the front. Look at the pictures of the original Spinrites still in their blister packs. Some of the pictured lures are not Spinrites. They have a sharp indentation above the bottom (kinda looks like a mouth) like the Chism's Little Whiz. I preferred the single treble to the double treble with maribou on the Spinrite.  Less hangups!

The jitterbug is my favorite underrated lure. It presents a different action than most other topwater baits and you don't have to sit there and jerk your rod every five seconds (you can just give it a steady retrieve).
