My favorite spinnerbait

I agree Wayne, those were the best spinnerbaits I have ever used, caught more bass on those than all the other spinnerbaits combined.  If you were blondfolded you could tell those baits by their unique vibration pattern.

Thanks for the pic, wayne, it brings back memories of that old fishing show heavily sponsered by bass - buster. Was that Homer, or am i having an early senior moment ? ....

detroit1, It may have been Virgil Ward, I can't remember which.

I've only got about a couple dozen of those spinnerbaits left.

It was Virgil Ward and he and his sons owned and operated the Bass Buster Bait company for quite a few years before they sold it to the Johnson reel company.

Makers of the infamous Beetle Spin, they also had a twin spin spinnerbait I can't remember the name off hand. That bait had a couple of small colorado blades mounted in a V fashion that folded up and slid through the line eye when the bait wasn't in use to make storage easier.

Those are still in the package. Nice. 8-)

I still have 4 or 5 Mudbugs left. I guarante they would still catch fish if I ever got around to throwing them.
