A lot of these lures listed I have .

Wooden Arbogast Jitterbug painted like a frog. 
 

He would throw it on an aluminum rod with a black bakelite trigger grip. Chrome Southbend round reel with white bakelite knobs. 
 

Funny the things you remember over time …

There’s a bass pro video on YouTube now. I think it’s “the catch” maybe is the name of the show? Anyway, it was a neat like 30ish min video on the history of fishing lures. 

my dad didnt fish.  

 

if i had kids, they would think we were Japanese.

My dad was a crappie and catfish angler, The only bass lure I remember him having is a L&S jointed minnow

Mine was a crappie angler too. Had a box full of hooks, bobbers, split shot, a few jigs, a couple of those inline spinners that came on the card at the mom & pop store and maybe a pack of Mann's Jelly Worms. I probably stole the few bass lures he had.
