I was searching through my stuff in my wardrobe yesterday and found my first crankbait  !! I instantly had flashbacks of all those good memories of my first bass fishing days.

My father bought me this 17 years ago..the good ol faithfull rattlin rapala..Thanks father  

Post yours if you still have it  

Mine was a white rooster tail that my grandpa gave to me.

The first three lures I 've ever purchased were 2 Mepps Aglia #1 in-line spinners ( which I lost many moons ago ) and a Rapala Original Minnow size 9 in rainbow trout pattern that I still fish with, it 's 35 years old.

My first was an Snagless Sally  

a husky jerk in a holographic minnow color

First bass lure.... 5in senko

First lure of all time.... Kastmaster

First thing I used was night crawlers and shiners.

First lure I got was Probably some Culprit worms and Riverside floating air fries.

first used night crawlers with a bobber

first lure would probably be a daredevil

Mine was an Orange Heddon Sonic. It resembles a rattletrap but has a top fin on it and not as large as the 1/2 oz.

I caught my first bass on it.

Rapala Original Floater, silver with black back.

I think my first were the Mepps in line, and the ever so popular beetle spin

Creek Chub.........anyone remember?

my first lure was a poe's super cedar 300

grey/black culprit worm

still use em

Wish i had a camera....ABU SPINNAREN REFLEX inline spinner.Only have 2 of these given to me by my dad who didn't fish much.

These started my love and discovery of how awesome inline spinners are.

Not sure how rare or old these things are,but i refuse to fish them so they sit in my tackle box that stays at home.

Mepps Comet size 2 and the Rapala original floater.

Hmm.. truthfully I forget.. oldest I can distinctly remember is a pack of Rattlesnake Curly Tail Worms. (Or atleast I believe thats what the brand was called  :-?)

I was a beetle spin junky, when I was a kid. And now I have passed the fever on to my kids. they still produce, makes me want to start throwing them again.

Well, technically not my lure- but my first bass was caught on a Rapala floater.

Rapala Rat-l-trap. I caught 2 fish on this lure on my fist 2 casts ever fishing for bass then lost it on the third or fourth.

mine was a chartruse and black beetle spin, on a 1/4oz jighead. I still fish that same color to this day when the bite is tough, regardless of water conditions.

Yep black and chartruse, thats the one...

1/4 Blue Rooster tail.  I was about 9 or 10 when my dad taught me how to use it.

My dad gave me a Helin Flatfish in frog pattern. I caught many bass on that lure. I still have it put away in my museum tackle box.

my first was a daredevil spoon. I still think I have it laying around somewhere
