Discontinued Lures

[CWB]

I thought this might be interesting and bring back some memories.

Which bait or lure that is no longer made would you like to see back in production.

I would give anything for some 1/4 oz. Strike King Timberspins.

[fourbizz]

Well, I wouldnt want to see them back in production since I have a few of them ;D, but the 3:16 Armageddon and Wake Bait are by far my favorite discontinued lures.

[Tin]

Berkley had a few colors in their lipless divers I would like to see again.... :-X

Rapala Rattlin Fat Rap

Rapala Fat Rap

Rapala Shallow Fat Rap

Heddon Sonic and Super Sonic

Mann 's Jelly Waggler

[Infidel.]

Skillet and I were just talking about this. I wish Bomber would bring back the patterns that Excalibur used to have on their Fat Free Shads, namely the Red Shad and Coppernose Bluegill. I have one of each left but I don't fish them as aggressively as I do my other cranks for the fear of lossing them.

Other than that I would like to see some good old 80's/early 90's craw worms back on the market like the Riverside Big Claw or Mister Twister Fighting Craw.

I still have some of these.

Also some Gillrakers, Mannipulators, and Gator Tails.

I tend to buy out the store when I hit on something that works.

I'll cry when they are gone :'(

Gene Larew's 8" hooktail worm in Tomato was my #1 bait back in the day (late 80's/early 90's).  It was hand poured and totally different than the injected version Gene Larew makes today  :-[.

Luck E Strike's Salty Sensation was also a bait I used a lot.  We used to call them 'Chicken Foots'.

[Primus]

I wish they would bring back the old fat free shads with the transluscent sides and the reflective inserts, these baits have caught me a lot of fish and I only have a couple left thanks to Northern Pike. :'(

[Muddy]

Hey Primus; Not many "house " Lures are all that effective, but these shad baits by Cabela's are just as deadly This is a link for the kit, it is better to find what works for y9ou, but the kit psoting will show the colors available. YOU MUST SWITCH OUT THE STOCK HOOKS HOWEVER!

[Primus]

Thanks for the tip Muddy, I'll pick up a few to try for next season.

[Muddy]

My Favorites are the Glass / Black Shad. I switch out the hooks to VMC's, the stock hooks are worse than Heddon's :

[Munkin]

Fat raps

Rapala to bring back the CW color

Kangaroo grub

Madman lizards in Volcano color

Maybe we can get some trading going on as I think I have some of the stuff mentioned? I should have a couple of those baby TI spinnerbaits and some older fat free shads but I can't give up the reflective ones as they are my favorite.

Wish I could find some 1/4 oz. Mud Bugs.

Still got a good many Screamer worms.

[Glenn]

3/8 oz Herb's Dilly.

[fatmanslim247]

ike's stone jig... I bought like 50 of them at bps when I heard they were discontinued they had to get them from the back.  The lady that got them for me thought I was crazy, I spent all my money that weekend on those jigs.

[Brute]

Heddon Prowler.

The first bass I caught on an artificial lure many years ago was with one of these my Dad let me use.

I saved my allowances to buy more of them and they are all gone.

I still have 1 that is probably 40 years old, but I am afraid to get it wet.
