Top water lure called a Jerkin Sam. Found it at that bait shop on 30 near Ray Hubbard. My friend and I were laughin so hard at the name we were crying. Had to buy it. Dont know where it went but it was worth the 5 bucks just for the laugh.

When I first got into fishing...I went into Bass Pro and bought a couple of Top Knockers....man I thought they looked good!

Never caught a fish on one....they are in my wifes cute lure collection...her little box of cuties!


Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

I'm always hearing people knocking the helicopter lure. I'm 30 now but when I was about 13 or 14 I received the kit for Christmas. We were camping at Eufaula lake here in Oklahoma one spring and my dad, (who's idea of fishing is a cane pole and minnows, says bass fishing is too much work) Tied a pink helicopter lure on and on the 3 or 4th cast had the biggest fish I had even seen in my life come 3 feet out of the water for that bait. He had it on for a good minute or so then the fish came off. The plastic was so hard could not get the hook to go through. Still to this day when I hear people bashing Roland "Son that's a six pounder" Martin and the Helicopter lure, I laugh because I saw on the biggest bass in my life "fly" out of the water after that thing!!!

But yes the Helicopter Lure caught a lot more fisherman than it ever did fish!!!

the billy bass lure is one of the better tank baits i've ever used.

i didn't buy it, but my grandparent's tackle box had a bass chasing a fly lure that caught them.

Okay, several years ago I bought two spinnerbaits that held a watch battery and the heads would light up. One Red, and one green. eeks Thought, these will be great at night! noidea

All that light was good for was to see what you were hung up on in the dark. bang

Heck, it is a wonder I catch any fish at all! who_knows
