Bass XL Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Mine was a white rooster tail that my grandpa gave to me. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 25, 2008 Super User Posted May 25, 2008 The first three lures I 've ever purchased were 2 Mepps Aglia #1 in-line spinners ( which I lost many moons ago ) and a Rapala Original Minnow size 9 in rainbow trout pattern that I still fish with, it 's 35 years old. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 25, 2008 Super User Posted May 25, 2008 My first was an Snagless Sally Quote

Branuss04 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 First bass lure.... 5in senko First lure of all time.... Kastmaster Quote
guitarkid Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 First thing I used was night crawlers and shiners. First lure I got was Probably some Culprit worms and Riverside floating air fries. -searoach Quote
tritz18 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 first used night crawlers with a bobber first lure would probably be a daredevil Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted May 25, 2008 Super User Posted May 25, 2008 Mine was an Orange Heddon Sonic. It resembles a rattletrap but has a top fin on it and not as large as the 1/2 oz. I caught my first bass on it. Quote
hercdoc Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Rapala Original Floater, silver with black back. Quote
ventureboat Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I think my first were the Mepps in line, and the ever so popular beetle spin Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted May 25, 2008 Super User Posted May 25, 2008 Creek Chub.........anyone remember? Quote
Super User grimlin Posted May 25, 2008 Super User Posted May 25, 2008 Wish i had a camera....ABU SPINNAREN REFLEX inline spinner.Only have 2 of these given to me by my dad who didn't fish much. These started my love and discovery of how awesome inline spinners are. Not sure how rare or old these things are,but i refuse to fish them so they sit in my tackle box that stays at home. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 26, 2008 Super User Posted May 26, 2008 Mepps Comet size 2 and the Rapala original floater. Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Hmm.. truthfully I forget.. oldest I can distinctly remember is a pack of Rattlesnake Curly Tail Worms. (Or atleast I believe thats what the brand was called :-?) Quote
paragon Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I was a beetle spin junky, when I was a kid. And now I have passed the fever on to my kids. they still produce, makes me want to start throwing them again. Quote
nralover Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Well, technically not my lure- but my first bass was caught on a Rapala floater. Quote
Jake P Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Rapala Rat-l-trap. I caught 2 fish on this lure on my fist 2 casts ever fishing for bass then lost it on the third or fourth. Quote
paragon Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 mine was a chartruse and black beetle spin, on a 1/4oz jighead. I still fish that same color to this day when the bite is tough, regardless of water conditions. Yep black and chartruse, thats the one... Quote
TENNESSEE NEWSOME Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 1/4 Blue Rooster tail. I was about 9 or 10 when my dad taught me how to use it. Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted May 27, 2008 Super User Posted May 27, 2008 My dad gave me a Helin Flatfish in frog pattern. I caught many bass on that lure. I still have it put away in my museum tackle box. Falcon Quote
