So true! My boat is a floating Academy and I use about 10% of the stuff!

Its pretty much the slow techniques that "die off". Todays fishermen are all about covering water and doing it quick. Its really a tournament mentality that sticks with people even after they quit fishing tournaments. About the only way to bring something back from the dead is for a pro to do something special with it and bring attention to it. Then everyone on this forum will be doing it again. LOL
A lot of the techniques you hear so much about today people have been doing for years. It just gets a new name and some publicity and next thing you know its HUGE!

i wish i could find some of the original bomber long a balsa in bone color. Had a great experience on Guntersville slow rolling it across the top and watching them big ol spots come up and smash it
You sure that wasn't a Bagley Bang-O Lure?

I remember when Gene Larew and George Toalson first came out with the Salt Craw, I thought I would never have a need for another bait in the boat. We used to pick them out of a bin and buy them individually lol. Same with power worms. Remember the power worm room at Brannan's bait shop? All the power worms were in a separate room, and in bins, it stunk so bad you would gag but I would always go in there and come out with 2 fistfuls of worms and have to count them out. But the biggest fish, still, I have ever caught was on a pumpkinseed Gene Larew salt craw, on Fork in the early days. And I don't think I've owned a salt craw in 20 years. Because they keep coming out with new stuff!!

I used to only fish with a jitterbug. Pull one out about every other year with nada to show. Most other baits that I have had success with lasted only about a year. However, I have been using mainly 1 bait over 6 years and use it over 90% of time. I have tried others but they don't compare. I don't know what I would do if it ever was discontinued.

I was just thinking about that last week about the Johnson weedless spoon with a trailer.... I don't see anybody using it, including myself. I'm going to have to do a trip fishing just the Johnson weedless spoon.

I was suspect that old technique/lures die off because the televised anglers don't talk about them. They find "new" techniques for the newly produced lures they are given to advertise and promote. It's frustrating when they make a video and 75% of what they talk about is the name brand of lures and gear and very little talk is given to how to use them successfully.
On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?
The answer is found in Jesus Christ who said "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Mid to late seventies I fished three lure's ---6" Manns Jelly Worm in Blackgrape , scuppernong and black w/chartreuse tail --- a Big O ( craw colored ) and hula popper .
Mid to late eighties --- home made " brawley bugs " ( named after Troy Brawley in NorCal ) --which eventually the "jig" replaced the name Brawley Bug . Caroline rigged worms and T-rigged Jelly worms
MId to late 90's -- C-Rigs , Senko's , D-shot's
MId to late 2000's , Senko's , Crigs , spinnerbaits
Point is , all the above changes were driven by success , failure and innovation . I am positive all the above lures will still catch plenty of fish ---but once you try a "new" technique and end up with a great day in either numbers and/or size --- that technique becomes your new confidence bait --- then you go online or store , buy a ton of those " new" lures --- and that is how we end up with way more lures than a man should own and we end up using about 10% of what we own . but the good news is we own all of them " just in case" we need them .

You forgot the bladed jigs like the CB and other good ones.

I've heard that in Japan, they do tournaments with only antique lures (and equipment??). Someone should do a tournament with a list of the old stuff discussed above. That'll interesting.
