Any yall ever still use them old baits like the hula popper and such? Wonder if they still would work good?

I'm still using them, and catching fish. Just change out them junky hooks with some quality ones.

sure they work.

I gotta frog pattern hula-popper that I was catchin em on just the other day -- its one of the mini-series... they work great!

With some of the older lures (jitterbug/hulapopper), the hook attaches to the bait without a split ring. Do you just cut off the old hooks and add split rings and new hooks? What do you use to cut them off?

I use a tiny torpedo this time of year. It is quite effective, just figure how to change the hooks out.

Hula popper, jitterbug, devil horse, and the torpedo. Caught a lot of fish on them when I was a kid ad now they never see the light of day.

Use a good pair of Side Cutters. I use the KVD Elites in the Short Shank #4 will be good for the Jitter and Hulla.

my buddy just caught two bass on each treble...still works for him!

sorry...two bass on one hula popper...lol

Thanks, changed out the hooks on my Jitterbugs and Hulas yesterday. With the Hulas, I was able to unscrew the hook holders and replace trebles without a split ring, but on the Jitterbugs I had to use some rings. Will use better quality split rings next time (used Eagle Claw split rings--very soft, not good)
