bass109 Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 what's the best classic lure that you remember? What should they bring back? Lures form 50+ years ago still work today. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 Another vote for the balsa Fat Rap.........that was one great crank bait. I don't know why the ever stopped making it. Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 The Rebel Mystic Minnow Balsa Fat Rap For Avid the Arbogast Mud Bug Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 i havent seen too many baits come and go, seeing im only 17, but for really old lures that continue to produce, im going with the original rapala. It has got me a few 20-30 fish days when nothing else really works. Quote
justfishin Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 The original Big O's and the Hank Parker Spinnerbaits. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 They remade the balsa big O with a micarta lip, and it has produced really well for me. It was discontinued after only a few months, and luckily I have 8 or 9 of these left. Quote
bassnleo Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Another vote for balsa Fat Rap. I still have about 6, still use them, still catching fish. I shudder everytime I hang one, even been known to take a swim to retieve one hung up. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 The Arbogast Jitterbug and Hula Popper, both still available. I've been using them forever. Had them handed down from my dad, and his dad before him. Quote
bass109 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 i had one balsa Fat Rap before, i caught a fish, then i got hung up in the weeds and lost it. Compared to DTs it is better. Quote
dink Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The OLD Cordell Spots ...the 'one-knockers'. I have six that I picked up at a boat show. Talk about good on a pressured lake . Quote
