Now I truly feel like a dinosaur! I can remember when there were only those and the Apelco flashers to choose from! I can also remember when the paper graphs came out!

Lowrance Fish Lo K Tor.....1957 first introduced to the sporting market.
Lot of guys thought they were going to turn into the best fisherman in the world with one of those.

in 1957, $150!! More than lot of families made in a month.
I remember wanting one, but knew it would never happen.

Wow you and me both, I still have the little green box,although it has been retired along with some old baits and reels, it is quite a conversation piece. Whats really bad is I can remember my Dad and I fishing Stock Tanks near Sherman Tx using an old Gamefisher 12' boat with one of these on it

I want to say it was around 1962-63
