Berkley Mud Critter and their worms that were like the Slider ones. Xcaliber Xs4 in Ghost color, Kinami Rad Shad lipless crankbait.

I have an old set of neon colored Cotton Cordell CC Shad crank baits.  The red one caught a lot of fish and is stuck in a SMB in Plymouth, MA.

 

That's the one I'd like to be able to still buy.

I caught a lot of bass on the Excalibur spinnerbaits with counter rotating blades .

Yamamoto 6" grubs....these are my go-to worms (it's essentially a fat worm).  BPS beaver bug....it's like a beaver/tube hybrid, and the bass liked them (and they were cheap).

Rebel Deep Wee R crankbait. It was my first crank and caught a lot of bass for me. Buit I probably wouldn't use it much anymore. Where I fish is a lot weedier now. I use lipless cranks a lot more.

Larew salt craw in  Tequila Sunrise dang that was a fish catcher!!!

Yep . I would like to see it reintroduced with the hook hangers spread apart more .

A great little lure. I used them on the Susquehanna for SM and up north for Walleye.

For me it would be the Wee R and Deep Wee R Rebel crankbaits. Someone else just had a thread on this not too long ago.

Blue Fox Vibrotail Minnow.  Works well as a jig or rigged like a Beetle Spin.  Caught more fish on these than any other single size/type bait and it works for many types of fish - not just bass.  I bought a decent stash off the large auction site, so I'm still using them.

Old style Lunkerhunt stick worms.

The Larew Salt Craw in Camouflage was also very productive.

First generation silent plastic Zara Spook with the nose tie and 2 hook split ring hook hangers.

The Xcalibur One Knocker / Hard Knocker : *When Booyah took over the Xcaliber lipless line up , they chose NOT to keep making a number of popular Xcaliber colors which I believe is a mistake to omit from the current  line up . 

Bill Dance Signature Bomber Fat A.  There was something about that translucent fire-tiger in warm, stained water.

 

Rapala Rattln' Fat Rap, black and gold.  Square bill action, wiggle wart depth.  It was a killer cold water crankbait.

 

Berkley Fathead slotted tubes.  If nothing else worked, I could always get bit on them.  Have yet to find a tube that I like better.    

 

I think I'm going to cry now...

The large one's or the smaller version?  I don't care for the small ones.  I do find the larger version in that color on ebay from time to time, never seen them under ten bucks though.  At 2 bucks, pick me up a dozen-I'll pay you double:)

spacer.pngMy grandpa really loves the yum vibra king in a 3”. Discontinued several years back, he has 3 left that are beat to death. I  have been trying to find them in lots of used tackle online for awhile now. If anyone happens to have any they could part with I would be happy to buy. It would be great to surprise him with a few more! Thanks!

Any particular colors as I may have some?
