I still own just about every old school baits you have shown. Hellbenders, wooden Bombers, original Cordell Spots without the internal rattle, and caught many fish on these plus many more but quit fishing them because I'm scared to lose them. But many awesome memories with these baits.
One old-school lure is missing: The Flatfish. Not easy to cast, but they are deadly. The little F-10 Gold Flatfish, with old wire attachment, can catch Trout, Panfish, and keeper size Bass.
That's funny, I just dug out my old hula popper that had a worm melted into it's skirt that's getting new paint and a hair tail put on it over at the healing bench. It was old when I bought it as a kid, so he's due.
i like going on the old school lures pages on facebook this stuff is so cool and i’ll tell you what they still movin them things around angler to angler so it’s possible to get out hands on them for sure
I still use those old rebel lures...every single one of them is absolutely killer. Cheap as can be, but absolutely killer...I like that rebel crawdad, it's phenomenal sometimes.
So if these lures are so great would you use them in stock form, with factory supplies hooks and lacking split rings if that’s how they came? Sorry but the extremely cheap hooks and simple hook connected to a screw eye isn’t going to get the job done compared to actual strong and sharp hooks that dangle from strong split rings ( instead of the cheap ones that typically came with lures if they came with them at all). I love the old school bomber metal lipped crankbait but I’d still need to put good hooks and split rings on it before using it.
Don't throw a Jitterbug into the wind, even low & sidearm. The lip catches air, causing it to spin like crazy. Otherwise, ... it's been catching fish since forever.
Old Dad wisdom: "Fish can't understand fads, they don't read in-fisherman, nobody's sending them Bass Pro catalogs and they have no way of being aware how much you paid for that. Use what works."
Randy, I tend to agree with you on the vast majority of your blogs, but this nonsense that bass have suddenly evolved to the point that they will readily commit suicide on a $15 mega-bass crank bait and not a 25 year old bomber 3A that cost you fifty cents is just that, nonsense..
"The fish will tell you what they want". Never truer words. Thank you Randy.
Ken Duke said on the big bass podcast that the jitterbug has caught more state records than any other lure
I ❤️ my jitterbugs.
