Does anyone remember those topwater poppers that when you popped them, it pulled a string out and the tail would vibrate?

Doug Hannon Snake Lures! I fell for the ads, ordered them, and they melted together in my tackle box, leaked all that goo through the bags and all over my tackle box and warped the plastic... In the winter!!!

I saw someone post about the banjo minnows. I have caught tons of pond bass on those as well as a few hydrids at Tawakoni on the big chartreuse ones. Does seem like a gimmick though but they work.

Ha! Heck yeah! Chuck Woolery, the Love Connection host, used to be the spokeperson for them. Be back in 2 and 2!

Storm Kickn Shad! It has the action of a piece of cardboard. The kickn minnow is awesome, but this was complete garbage.

Yes, I remember seeing them on an infomercial when I was like 7 yrs old. I was so smitten with them that I begged my parents to buy them for me, LOL.

I bought like 3 topwater frogs and 3 topwater shad that would vibrate and splash around when you pulled the string. Never caught anything on them for several years (gave up on them years ago). But I got bored this past summer and as a joke decided to tie one on, and I finally caught a bass with it! Wooohoo! smile

The ones I bought were made locally I think. This was 15-20 years ago though.
