    Not necessarily old school baits, though I did just buy an original Arbogast Muskie Jitterbug, but more so old school techniques. I still troll spoonplugs regularly, fish Sliders the way Charlie Brewe

    The reason you still use them, they still work. When I'm river fishing for smallies early or late in the year, I still use Tadpollies.

I regularly use Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs, Rebel 3.5" and 4.5" minnows (solid and broken back), Original Rapala floater and jointed and Mepp's Aglia and Black Fury. All work excellent.

Pork frogs.  Just found some new old stock.  I was almost out.

When it comes to bass, I don't have a lot of older lures that I use. About the only ones are popper style, though I haven't been terribly successful using them so far. I so some really old jerkbaits that were probably hand made, but I never use them due to sentiment. My uncle has some old Devil Horses though that he's always sworn by. They actually still sell that lure, I have seen it in several shops, so it probably works pretty well. To me it looks basically like a jerkbait turned into a twin torpedo instead of a bill in the front. I use teeny torpedoes, spoons, and size 3 anglia spinners when fishing for trout in rivers though, those tend to work pretty well but the torpedoes and spinners are somewhat difficult to cast, especially in tight quarters. Spoons tend to cast a lot better, but get snagged more often.
