Still have a pack of original jelly worms from back in the 70s. Unopened. And a handful of the original Big O plugs.

Somewhere I still have my flasher in the attic. Paper graph is long gone.

That's actually a telescoping push pole they sell today. I have one in the shop.

I have a 22' center console and I carry that with me when I go to the Louisiana coast. I have used it numerous times in my old boat while duck hunting.
