Do you fish that Rat Fink on 65+ lb. braid...lol? That would be a costly loss if one broke your line! I fished them back in the 80's, but they didn't catch as many fish for me as the Crazy Shad or Devil's Horse. And I still fish both of them today. Another oldie I fish is the old Wobble Heads with the Creme Scoundrel worm on it. Not sure if anyone is still making the Wobble Heads or not. I looked at the guy on here that was selling "Wobble Heads" but saw that they are not the originals. I think at times they were made by Cordell, Arbogast, and Wobble Head in Monroe, LA. I THINK!

Guess it you keep worms in a protected environment, they'll last forever.


You can send those "chicken feet" to me please, they don't work at all...

Also should have mentioned the old Boy Howdie triple hook top water jerk bait. Used to be a killer at big Sam.

Arbogast Jitterbug, Musky Jitterbug, Mudbug, and Hula Popper; Pico's Pico Perch, Pico Pop; Bomber Pinfish, Model A, Waterdog, Bomber, and a floating twitch bait that floats vertically; Herb's Dilly; Bass Buster Scorpion and Tarantula; Mister Twister spinnerbaits, buzz baits, and plastics; Tom's Minners; Shannon Twin Spinner; Al Foss Shimmy Wiggler; Bass Pro Tornado spinnerbait; Heddon Zara Spook and Wounded Spook; Rebel Super-R, Deep Wee-R; Bagley Balsa B; Original Floating Rapalas; Smithwick Devil Horse; and several others. I know some of these are valuable antiques, but as long as I continue to catch fish on them, I'll continue to sharpen the hooks and throw them.

There's one I still throw once in a while that I can't remember the name of. It's a crankbait with a plastic skirt tail and a metal keel that enables it to come over timber, even with its two treble hooks. Anyone know its name?
