There are hundreds of older baits with a catchy name that makes them easy to remember.                        Name two older baits of any style that have a catchy name. They can be any manufacture, from anywhere in the country.               An exemple:                                      1. Lazy Ike.                                         2. Bass - O- Reno.                          Can you name a couple?

You honestly can't forget the Rat-L-Trap. The whole story behind it as well as the fact that most anglers always seem to say that the used a "Rat-L-Trap type bait". 

 

And, since we need 2.

Sugar Shad

Mud Bug

Wiggle Wart

 

Oops!   I just noticed Kenny already mentioned the Wiggle Wart... 

 

I'll add Moss Boss to replace it.

I had some plastic worms once - forget the name, but they were made by Indians and infused with "lunker lotion" - whatever that was.  They kinda worked - At least I don't have them any more so I must have used them all up.

 

Mann's used to market a tail spinner named the "Little George" - the joke was that the bait was named after George Wallace (the former governor, not the comedian ).  I used to own some in-line spinners called "Panthers".  They worked and were unique that the blade went straight through the wire shaft and there wasn't any clevis to attach the blade to the shaft.   From time to time I wondered what panthers had to do with fishing, other than the obvious that cats allegedly like to eat fish.  The joke being that panthers are basically ambush predators and you worked these baits by just casting & retrieving them and the fish ambushed them.

 

Cotton Cordell used to market, maybe they still do, I don't know a top water bait called the "Boy Howdy".  I still throw various sizes of  "Timber Tigers" pretty often.   Prior to them being discontinued I bought a BUNCH of them on close out, one of those times when it was my day off, I'd had a few beers, was discontent that I couldn't go fishing that week and I walked into my favorite tackle shop when they had just (20 minutes prior) put them on close out.   I bought 40 or 50 in various sizes and spent less than $200.

 

There used to be jigs marketed in the Table Rock area ( maybe there still are, I don't know, haven't been there in a while) that were called Hazy Daze jigs.  I thought that was kind of funny.  Once on a practice day I got on a great bite using these jigs after a few barley pops.

I'm sure there are lots more, but these are all I can recall right now. 

this isn't an old bait but I like the name: Teckel Sprinker Frog
