Classic baits you've never thrown...

Featured Replies

Is there a bait that's got a good long time reputation as a producer you've never thrown? If so why? For me its a wiggle wart. The reason is simple...I'm a bank fisherman so I don't have alot of use for a bait that dives that deep. Also I don't have much around me for sloping rock banks...more wood and weeds. Lastly I just started cranking seriously a few years ago and its a bait I haven't gotten around to.

Whopper Plopper ?

 

Why? Not interested!

I don't believe there are many baits I haven't thrown.  There are a few classic baits that I haven't caught many fish on.  Only caught one or two fish on a Creek Chub Darter and one on a Bass Oreno.  Never caught a fish on a Helin Flatfish or a Heddon Sonic.  So far I have not thrown a Whooper Plopper.  I have a Roland Martin Helicopter lure that I keep around for chuckles.

Helin Flatfish

 

   Thank you for remembering Charlie Helin. Nowadays, most people call it the "Worden's Flatfish", but in no way does plastic replicate wood.            jj

A Jitterbug like these, which haven’t played in the water since probably 1966-67. However, one day that I may change...

Never caught a fish on a hard jerkbait. Whether suspending, floating, or sinking. I have a Rapala Husky Jerk which I like, but havent caught anything on "Yet"

x2 on the Yamamoto.  I've thrown other stick worms but not the original.  I bought 2 packs on closeout like 3 years ago and they've never made it to the boat.

Wiggle Wart. Whopper Plopper. Zara Spook.

I found this when the water was low late last year. Never tried it yet but it was crusty before I cleaned it up last week. I will throw it this spring.
