Bomber Fat A crank......when they quit production I scoured the internet and found some and grabbed a dozen....guard them closely. I did the same. However they did start making them again, but they are kind of hard to find.

Probably before some of you guys were born, Rebel Super R I have 4 or 5 but unlike some of you guys I keep one tied on all time. What good is a favorite lure if you don’t use it?

Floating Air lizards that had the pockets on them that made bubbles. Didn’t know what to do with them because I was a 5 year old kid that didn’t know anything about rigs or rigging but I bet they’d be a deadly Carolina bait Sounds like the Riverside Floating Air Series baits. They made them in Lizards, Craws, Fry, and probably a worm as well. The lizard and Fry were incredible. I still have a few but have not fished them in years because I dont do much carolina rigging anymore. Those suckers would float a 5/0 hook with no issues at all.

The one soft bait I am always looking for is the original Mister Twister Hawg Frawg. The ones they make today aint the same as the old ones.
The hard bait I am always looking for is a Rebel Mid Wee R. Seems like when I do find one they want a $20 bill for it.

Arbogast MudBug, the big one. Same. I only have about 12 of the big ones left and 20 of the medium ones. I would use them more if I could buy them. The mid weight one was my favorite.

Bomber Rip Shad & the old style Mister Twister Sinsation. Rip Shads on Monticello were so deadly early morning & late evening. Sinsations were killers in the weeds. m Still have a few bomber rip Shad

Back in the 80's I had a purple worm with a white curly tail. It was a big bass magnet. I haven't been able to find any like it since 1995 Culprit is only manufacturer that still makes a purple white tail. Can’t find a hook tail version. Caught a lot of bass on them.

I saw these at BPS earlier today, they aren’t dark purple, they are a bit darker than the picture appears though. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/07/full-35324-103955-8dbb5cb4_77ce_402b_973d_147ad712a459.png)
