Bring back one bait..

[bassheel]

You get to bring back one bait, what would it be? 

[KSanford33]

The slug-go. I used these when I was a teenager and they worked great. I'm sure they still catch fish, but now I just use a Senko instead.

Storm subwart

 

Honorable mention to the original Terminator spinnerbait (titanium frame).

 

Rapala bought out both Storm and Terminator, eliminating both products.  ?

I still have and throw a few of those Terminator titanium spinnerbaits in 3/8 oz. You can't break 'em and they catch fish.

I only had two titanium Terminators and both broke after a few dozen bass . They have great blades .

I just counted.  I have 3 of the original 3/8 ones left that I still use, and 3 more that are still in the original packaging (see photo).  2 of them are the short arm thumper versions but they are all titanium frame models.  The primary reason I prefer them is the durability.  And since pike love them and we have so many pike, these last much longer than steel versions.  I think you can still buy the replacement skirts though.

 

I have 4 opened subwarts that I still use and one in the original packaging.  When I lose a subwart or one of these terminators, its extremely painful lol.  There's a sadness that consumes me for a while because I know I can't replace it.

 

Sometimes these lures are listed on ebay but the price is steep.  I've seen the 2 inch subwarts go for almost $50 and the original terminators go for $35 in an auction.

The pre 1996 Huddleston wooden Castiac trout, hand carved and hand painted. Magical giant bass lure.

Although Uncle Josh has re-introduced some of their baits,  I would really like some of the shapes and colors that were discontinued.

Interesting.  All my Terminators broke the first time out.  Hated them.

Where have I been.  I was going to come in here and say pork chunks...but holy $12!  I had no idea they were available again.

Still the best crankbait for cranking wood I've ever used. Thankfully I still have a good supply.

[Way north bass guy]

The original Berkley Power Craw, in pumpkinseed with chartreuse claws, of course at the original price ?. There’s many newer versions I use that work as well or maybe even better, but man did I ever catch a ton of fish on those guys either Texas rigged or on a ballhead jig in more open water.

Still have a few but havent used them in many years .  I used them in the places where the Wiggle Warts are famous for . Steep rocky banks in the spring .

Came here to say the CRR3 and CRR5. I have many left and still pick them up off the auction site sometimes. No experience with the 14 but might have to find a couple now.

Another vote for Terminator spinnerbaits.

Did find one that I like as much, Zman bladez.....all I throw.
