These are 2 lures I always did great with but were discontinued many years ago.
1. Mepps spinner Red and White cylinder with silver blade
2. Mr. Twisters with chartreuse tail and orange body
I don't know if I believe it but the owner of a tackle shop told me they quit making some lures because they worked too good.

You can still get Hell benders but not in many colors. I did better with Hot N Tots especially the blue silver for walleye.

The Hawaiian wriggler is very interesting with the one sided propeller blade to add some wiggle. If that is the kind you are talking about.

Caught a ton of fish on that black and white Heddon Chugger. Still wish that Bagley made the Tin Foil Shad.
