Didn't see anyone mention a Wooly Bully, basically a spinnerbait with a curl tail grub.
Also, an old Rapala Fat Rap FR7 in crawfish/pearl.

I see slug-o's mentioned alot like they aren't still available. Pretty sure Cabela's still sells them. I bought some as recently as a few years ago. Also I consider them to be more like a fluke then a senko because they are fished exactly like a fluke. I still use them every once in awhile and they definitely still catch fish.
I also used to use a worm called a "weenie worm" when I was a kid. Pretty much the only thing I ever threw growing up. Dont think they make them anymore. Pretty similar to what a roboworm is now though I believe.

I still use a lot of those old baits, and almost always catch fish on them. I guess that they'll still qualify here, as I went 18 years without fishing at all. Some of the best of the "oldies" that I still catch 'em on:
H&H; Mister Twister's Lunker Buzz, Phenom worm and curly tails; Arbogast Hula Popper, Jitterbug, and Musky Jitterbug; Shyster and Mepps spinners; Carrot Top; Super-R; Bagley's Balsa-Bs; Bomber's Pinfish and Model-As; weedless Rex Spoon with pork rind; Bass Pro's Tornado; Creme's rigged purple worm; bucktail jigs with pork eel or split tail eel; Herb's Dilly; Snagless Sally;
Some of the great ones I don't use anymore, but should: Shannon Twin Spinner, Al Foss Shimmy Wiggler, Flatfish, Heddon Wounded Spook, Pico Thrasher and Pico Pop, Jointed Pikie Minnow; and Devils Horse.
Man - This thread really brings back some great memories!

About 30 years ago I caught a bunch in the Bayou Boogie lipless crank. Not sure if they still make them but haven't seen one in ages.

Yep. At one time would have always had a lunker lure tied on, not so much anymore. Also ring worms, hardly every use them. Took most out of the boat and put on shelf.
