Discontinued lures that you wish would come back

[lunkerboss923]

I had so much luck with that Booyah Flex 2 squarebill!!! I miss that lure. 

 

What about you, what's that lure you miss? 

[Log Catcher]

For me it would be the Wee R and Deep Wee R Rebel crankbaits. Someone else just had a thread on this not too long ago.

Timber Tiger by Luhr-Jensen.

The entire berkley havoc line of soft plastics.  

[islandbass]

Probably not found anywhere in great number but it was a smallie killer. The name of the company I think was Sniper Lures and the made a French fry looking soft plastic called the sniper snub. I have one bag left and I’m not going to use the baits. Instead, if I ever get around to it, I will learn how to make a mold from something like bondo and pore some. 
 

here is an image

@Glenn thanks! I actually got that image from Walmart too, lol. They always seem to be out of stock. 
 

Talk about sticker shock! They used to be less than $5 a pack. I guess l’ll keep an eye out but for that price, maybe I should seriously consider learning to make a mold, lol.

You have the package try contacting the company directly.

Found a couple of Deep Wee R’s at Walmart 2 months ago. Light brown craw pattern and a citrus shad color.

Academy used to sell a 5" glide bait under their H2O Xpress brand. I have one in baby bass and it swims nicely, I'd love to get more in shad and shiner patterns. It's hard to find smaller glides like this, especially for the $5.99 price tag....

Strike king Diamond shad (lipless crankbait). Heddon Dying Flutter baby bass color, Rapala Skitter pop (Small size SP5) Chartreuse back color.

Bulldog spinnerbaits

Rebel redneck soft plastic lizard

Riverside Big Wag worm

Strike King Wake shad

Manns Waker elite

Manns shallow razorback

Just to name a few ?!

[DINK WHISPERER]

The Spro Dawg in golden shiner! The smaller one not the salty Dawg. I lost my last one to a freaking iguana down in Miami! 

[BassNJake]

Rapala DT 7

Flat sided crank you could get to hit in 14-16 ft

very awesome at slowly crawling on bottom in the 10-12 foot range

 

I'm hoping Ott brings it back

Bull Dog Spinnerbaits for sure. The Super Dog! I have one left from years ago and it still works wonders. Indiana shaped blade. Puts off vibration and flash in a relatively compact size.

They come up occasionally on ebay, but usually with the willow blade.

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Kinami Palm Tree Watermelon Chartreuse.

[lunkerboss923]

I guess I don't get spinnerbaits. I have caught exactly 2 fish on them. 1 catfish and a dink.

Storm Subwart and Terminator T-1 Spinnerbait (titanium arm)

 

Both of these were bought out by Rapala and discontinued.

 

I have a fair amount of both of them before they were discontinued, including several of each in the original packaging.  Every once in a while I see one on ebay but the cost is pretty outrageous.  I've seen certain patterns of the subwart go for 45 bucks.  The great part about the Terminator T-1 was that it couldn't get bent by pike.  The durability is unrivaled in the spinnerbait realm.

I still have one SubWart and five Terminator spinnerbaits, but I don't have any with that beveled turtle blade.  That was an awesome blade design and a killer spring bait.

For me, it'd be the Mann's RazorBack and TwoFer

That blade really thumps and the spinnerbait can be reeled in slower than one with a colorado or willow blade.  By far my favorite blade.

I know the guy that was making those baits for Hart. He is the one that got me into spincasting.
