Switching to summer lures

[Swamp Girl]

I rigged a couple T-Rigged worms today, one a 12" monster, and a fluke. I've been catching bass through the spring and June on underspins with Crush City Mayors, but I had an episode recently where I'd worked an area with my underspins and then reworked it with a worm and caught another six bass. Of course, the best laid plans of mice and bassheads often go awry. I also pulled some of my lures from 50 years ago and I'm going to spend two hours casting them with a fiberglass rod and a Zebco Cardinal reel.

I need that Old School fishing report ASAP. I love old lures and gear.

Ever once in awhile I break this out just to remind me how easy I got it.

I'm envious of that crawler. 🤤

I started tournament fishing with one setup, if I wanted to change techniques I had to sit in the bottom of & retie.

The crawler looks likely to get destroyed promptly!  This should be fun!

@ol'crickety I’ve got 3 maybe 4 of those lures and @Catt got the reel too.

I have always loved the colors of the Spin-I-Diddee in the upper right, but the Plunker in the upper left was my best producer.

I bought some old school lures and put them on a display as a tip of the cap to my grandfather. Other day I told my brother I should take some out and catch a few lol.  Good stuff!

@Pogues2300: Do it! Catch one and you might hear a "Yee-haw!" from Heaven.

I fished for a long time with just one Daiwa Procaster, MH 5' combo. Later added a M spinning combo. That covered the crankbaits and worms.
