Pics of old lures not made you still use!

Featured Replies

I have been on a search this year to find lures i bought when i was a kid growing up i am now 43 and believe i have bought every rebel teeny r and bagley honey b ebay has had!I also have given in to the bait monkey on the plastic worm side.I will get my specials out and take some pics to bring back those memories of shopping in hole in the wall tackle shops and roses dimestores,kings, and when k-mart and best products had GOOD stuff!

I agree Wayne, those were the best spinnerbaits I have ever used, caught more bass on those than all the other spinnerbaits combined.  If you were blondfolded you could tell those baits by their unique vibration pattern.

Thanks for the pic, wayne, it brings back memories of that old fishing show heavily sponsered by bass - buster. Was that Homer, or am i having an early senior moment ? ....

detroit1, It may have been Virgil Ward, I can't remember which.

I've only got about a couple dozen of those spinnerbaits left.

It was Virgil Ward and he and his sons owned and operated the Bass Buster Bait company for quite a few years before they sold it to the Johnson reel company.

Makers of the infamous Beetle Spin, they also had a twin spin spinnerbait I can't remember the name off hand. That bait had a couple of small colorado blades mounted in a V fashion that folded up and slid through the line eye when the bait wasn't in use to make storage easier.

Those are still in the package. Nice. 8-)
