As a kid I remembered having a lure that was a chartreuse jig with an orange body that resembled a Cubby Mini-Mite, but oversized for bass. I looked and looked but could never find one so I wrote it off as something I made up.

 

Lo and behold, in the dusty corner of some local tackle shop I find one in the exact configuration as the one I remember having as a child. It was also the  last one in the all too familiar Cubby variety box thats in most small tackle stores. Talk about lucky. Turns out I wasn’t crazy. Are these big guys no longer made? My Google fu has turned up nothing and I can’t even find them on eBay. I put the one I did find on my shelf as a keep sake because of the memory attached to it. 

Gene Larow makes something similar
