Was looking through one of my Dad’s old tackle boxes this weekend and came across 3 of his old favorites that I haven’t thrown or even seen in decades.
Can’t wait to cut the old braid tags off and try them out again. Definitely an action the bass haven’t seen in a while.

Wiggle warts, good find.

The one on the bottom, could use a little filing to remove the rough edges.

They used to sell pretty good on ebay. One of the best crankbaits ever made IMO.

My version of square bill. Only bait i spend time trying to get back when hung up.

Wanna sell them ?

fishermen have been known to pay mighty high prices for these real bait as they work better than the doupl

Dang i just looked on ebay. I could fund a new graph.

Still get thrown in this neck of the woods. An Ozark staple.

Caught a lot of fish on red Wiggle Warts before the 2.5's came out in Chili Red

That top one was my go to bait on stock ponds.

Those are some really, really nice finds... I throw them all the time... Great bait... Dan

You know if it weren't for the fact that they were my father's who passed away a few years ago I might have considered letting them go but the sentimental value puts that off the table. And I remember how many fish he used to catch on them so I have to try them myself again

Don’t ever sell those!

Last time I threw one was on Table Rock about 5 years ago. Went to a flat, windy bank across from our Condo, just dinking around. Caught a 4.5 LMB on first cast. Biggest fish of the weekend. Never been to TR before or after.

The pre rapala ones still in the package bring a ton, the mold process was different and inconsistent with those causing baits that would hunt.

I’ve had one sitting in my garage for 30 years. It may have been used once and put away. It’s been sitting so long, the rattles are stuck.
