Do you mean Arbogast ?

Yes. Not sure why I had Heddon in my head.

 

I can't think of the name, but I used to have pretty good luck with a Mister Twister creature bait.  Looked like a regular plastic worm, with a bunch of tiny twister tails along the sides.  I started using them after Al Lindner won a B.A.S.S. tournament with them in '77.  Anyone remember the name?

I use to have some of those   and I dont recall the name either .

I always  loved the look and action of the Timber Spin.  Can't recall if I ever caught much with them.

The Spence Scout crankbait with the dual line tie...deep or shallow.  I do even know who made it it has been so long.

The original wood Scout was made by C.A. Clark in the 1930s (One of mine, picture) out of Springfield, MO. I'm not sure of the date, but Strike King bought the patent and sold the lure under the Spence Scout name. Their first version was a plastic copy of the old Water Scout and later they lost that bottom fin. I fished with my dad's and grandfather's old scouts and they were killers. 

I'd pay good money for 1 jar of these.

I bought a bunch of these when they were discontinued . I've had a lot of success on the square bills and the CR14 . They are a Storm design . Look at how the rear hook hanger is positioned . Not on the end but underneath like the Wiggle Wart . That might be why Rapala discontinued them so quickly . It wasnt their own design . Really good baits .

I found a picture of them on EBay, but it doesn't show the name.  It's going to keep bugging me.

I would love to see the a true (made out of cedar) Heddon Dying flutter.

I'd like for Berkley to bring back some of their older discontinued baits.  The 6" Pulse worm comes to mind.  Bring back the 8" Shakey worm, the one with the molded in tail, the one that would straighten out when you moved it and curled back up when you let it set, the one that I can't remember the name of.  Bring that one back in Red Shad/green glitter and Blue Fleck.

 

While you're at it bring back the SOB ( small okie bug) short arm single spin, the 3/8 size with the slightly smaller than normal single Colorado - hammered  either gold or silver would be nice.

 

I don't care about the Berkley Beasts - I didn't catch fish with that bait when it first came out, but it caught me and I've got 8 or 10 packs in a plastic shoe box somewhere in the fishing shed.  Chompers used to be a very popular soft plastic bait, readily available in Walmart & other bait shops, not so much anymore.  The Mann's paddle tail worm, the one that Ike used to win the Bassmaster classic, are still made I guess, but hard to find.  I'm sure there are more, but I can't recall right now.

Boom, that's it!  Thanks.

Black Firetail. When I contacted Mann's about it, they said something about it being costume made, and the store that did have them is no longer in business.

I would like to try one of those bass pro shops tornado spinnerbaits. I've never seen one in person but I d recall it has an oddly made blade and was supposed to been a fish getter. 

Smithwick.....toothpick

Culprit.....motor oil color worms, found others that make a motor oil but it's not the same color. 

i’m going back at least 30 years, but we used to use a plastic lizard made by Diamondback. they were about 5” long, and kind of thick in the middle, with a diamond mold on the back of it. my favorite color was a motor oil shade with black specks and a chartreuse tail. anyone else familiar with Diamondback brand lures?

Heddon Sonic.  It was the first lipless crankbait I can remember using.

It's great to see folks talk about the Rebel deep wee r's and the wee r's. It's a bonus to have someone talk about the Rebel Ringworms. I collect these and fish all three! 

 

I can say there is talk about bringing back the deep wee r.
