It was fun watching you go through my old tackle box and meeting you Thanksgiving. Glad to see you and so many others enjoying old school fishing. Looking forward to visiting again when I go see David.
Thanks again for allowing me to share with our Bassin’ Buds! Next time, we need to hear those Sam Rayburn stories...of better yet, go fishin’!
What No Black Jitterbug's??
@@thims1961 my gawd, greatest lure for nightime EVER!
Nice video, gotta like the old stuff!
Wow, just wow.
Your neighbor sure takes great care of his fishing tackle. That box and contents tells you a lot about his favorite ways he liked to fish. If you wanted to know the best method to fish prop baits he certainly is one to ask. His choice of lures tells me he fished shallow areas most. The metal lip lures he used for trolling deeper water more than just casting them. If this is all his tackle he was not a soft plastics or jig angler. He is meticulous and very organized about how he maintains his fishing equipment. A good idea that I use and works for storing treble hook baits; is using silicone hair bands to secure the hooks on my hard baits. It prevents them from rubbing the finish and they don’t tangle together. I can’t say what that lure was any more than you can you asked about. There are so many lures even seeing them all would take two lifetimes if that is all you did. I will say one thing for you; you are one devoted old school fishing fanatic. I am so happy to see Uncle Josh’s pork baits making a comeback. If you fish cold water there nothing made of plastic that works as well as pork frogs on a jig. One bait last so long it will amaze anyone who never use them. Spinnerbaits are lures that can do everything. They may not work as well as others do for specializes uses; but those types of lures can’t do what a spinnerbait can.
Heddon Sonic is my favorite lure of all time. Followed by the Cordell Spot
I don’t fish the Sonic nearly enough!
That tube worm is awesome
I have a very similar box, but in two tone blue and with three more drawers. It was my bass box in the early 80's or so. Surprisingly many of the baits in that box are a dead match for what I have in mine. I used to keep my baits sorted by depth, with one drawer for stick baits, one for top water, one for shallow lip baits, and one for deep divers. The bottom drawer on mine has a box of small spinners, a few Mepps assortments, another drawer has some frog baits and mice lures and one has all terminal tackle, spare hooks, and some spare reel parts and tools. I think mine says Flambeau 2277 on the door.
Back then my go to reel was my Daiwa GS20 on a Fenwick Lunker Stik Rod. All of which I still have.
As I got more into fishing back then I tended to set up a box for a particular area. I had a box for FL, a box for MO, a box for PA, etc. As i got into surf fishing, my lure collection grew faster and I started buying Phantom boxes, of which I currently have a half dozen of them full of 8 to 12" surf lures. Not to mention a few cases of lures I bought and never opened.
I actually stumbled on one of my old boxes from PA the other day, a Fenwick 35 with the possum belly beneath. I had stored it away in a huge box when I moved and just never unpacked it about 25 years ago. To my surprise I had stashed two brand new Daiwa RG1500 reels in the bottom. The top is packed full of lures from back in the day. I've been slowly gathering up all my old boxes in one place. After 50 years or so I've accumulated quite a few. I always strongly preferred the Fenwick boxes with Flambeau being a close second. The Plano boxes always meant stuck drawers and weak latches.
Man, thanks for the great comment, good buddy!
Good video. I remember those tackle boxes. I grew up throwing a hula popper Fun lures to chunk. Keep on Fishing
Really cool !!!! Thanks
I can tell you find much joy in presenting these videos! Thanks
That is a treasure chest of old school lures. Fantastic! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, Greg! A box-o-treasure for sure!
My Husband lost a Tackle Box just like that, full of stuff.....in the lake, in Minnesota. You are a lucky guy.
This was a pleasure to see great video again 😁
It was a hoot to film!
Yeah I got a old school Plano 747 box in my shop they are heavy empty. Remember the Plano phantom black tackle box huge box.
Had two always in my kingfisher 157 bass boat . Great memories
That strike king crankbait that you were referring to was called a psycho scout
Love that box
Great video on an old war chest full of great stuff. The leftover line still tied on, love it. Those Dying Flutters need to see the water.
Yes they do! Hear that, Ray?
That tackle box is a great find!
Hula poppers and JItter bugs...summertime fishing...cool video. My first tackle box was the Plano 787 with the spinner bait rack. Still have it today !!!
One of my first 5 bass came a Hula Popper in red winged blackbird.
There were two antique baits that wasn't there but I would love to see you fish them so others may see and appreciate. Many young anglers don't not have the faintest clue what a Lazy Ike is, or the Helin Flatfish. These two baits were legends, and at one time both were used by fishermen in the south and north parts of the country. The Flatfish is another bait that is best fished slow. That side-to-side action of the Flatfish was too enticing for bass, musky, or pike to resist. Still used up north and goes by another name now. What can I possibly say about the Lazy Ike that has not already been spoken to. It was my number one fish catcher in rivers, lakes, and small ponds. The #4 Model in frog pattern or gray-scale were one and two with myself in the 70's. I fished the flatfish in frog pattern using the Model "M2" Flatfish or solid black pattern. Flatfish and Ikes could be bought in different sizes and many different patterns. I settled on these two baits for 50% of my time fishing. The top water baits of the Heddon Zaragossa , another great bait gone by, and the Shakespeare Swimming Mouse in dark black or gray were good in the Spring and fall while fishing in the river. Fishing calm waters of lakes or ponds these two could be used in summer time also. Thanks again Mr. Chris for another retro video on the old baits! David
Man, David, thanks for the great insight on those two baits! I always sort of considered them different brands of the same bait, but maybe that needs to change! Adding those to the Retro Idea Book for sure!
I always wanted that box but never had it bunch of baits that I remember in that box
My old box is a Plano, I have most of those lures plus a ton of 60s ABU baits, spoons and inline spinners. I cant keep away from yard sales.
Great video I love seeing that old stuff talked about.. my father-in-law an old fisherman from the sixties and '70s gifted me with a Plano tool box full of old lures and stuff and I especially treasure the original fishing license from that era.
What's your favorite lure in there?
@@RetroBassin I'd have to say the black hula diver is my favorite. It has a metal square bill and a metal plate flap beneath the back treble hook.. looks somewhat medieval. My other favorite would be the vintage 70's Bass pro shop labeled Ray-Ban glasses.
I don't have any of my old stuff but love watching you're videos. It reminds me of my roots of fishing.
ooooh OK ! ! !
By the way, my favorite old school lure is the Dance’s Eel. I searched every flea market and old tackle shop I could. Friends laugh at me still but they catch fish and my biggest Ohio pike came on one.
Yes bill norman little n milt
Have you ever seen a Tupperware tackle box with vintage baits?
Spinnerbait in the package you showed is from Championship Tackle Co called a No-No.
Nice box of old stuff. My spinnerbaits usually end up with a minnow on the hook when the skirt dies or dries up.
That living rubber didn’t live forever!
That tray of Hellbenders 🤤🤤🤤
That’s a lot of hell bending!
You should check out the old Plano tackle boxes. I’ve got a couple 777s and they’re huge!
They weigh a ton without any tackle in them! lol
The one call a lazer eye
That box looks similar to one I have, I started accumulating baits in the early 70's. My box is much like that but with a possum belly beneath it. I've got one in tan and orange and one in light and dark blue that's laid out more like yours.
The lure with three line guides are used to give it a depth distance level
Glad I found this channel. You should do a video on the vibra baby bat metal lure. Can’t find anything about it on CZcams. TIA
Man, now that IS fishing it old school! I need to research that one. Glad you found us, Michael!
What I recently got from a yard sale has many of those.
Fish the hell bender . And the spinnerqueen.
The Cordell Spot with the spinner on the back is probably a post purchase modification. Ive seen that customization on more recent videos. Bill Lewis may make one in the smaller lipless cranks.
I was kinda wondering about that!
wow see i will be reviewing the video again see lure i have never seen before i am sure it true you saw some we have up here too here in Canada make my own lure too my shop were i put the boat in has a room just for the vintage rods and reels i come across on yard or garage sales yea nothing that holds any money
put i could see the put into a garbage can I much have a thousand reels too lol some of the need to have repairs to them to rods i will repair them to i build all of the mine rods too i have to build few fly fishing rods and 3 reels i have made to work on and open face reel now taken one of the older reels apart and making ever thing lot of time and lot of patients to do one
Storytime: Years ago when I lived in Texas and fishing my new "Buster Boat" (little 2hp Suzuki engine, the boat's name was "Tig o' Bittie') on another small lake, the silver bass went wild again. I had a new popping lure for them! It was small, with a single short white buck hair tailed hook. It was made of clear plastic that you could twist it off in the middle to add different color paper or whatever to change it up, with an 'o'-ring in the middle. It would destroy! Do you remember it? (Great vids, by the way, you help me bring back so many memories!)
I have a cotton Cordell fast tac minnow bright orange
The spinner baits & or the buzz baits that were in the sweet adventurer box. Saw one a few months ago. But,It was not in good shape. And not packed with usable baits either
That one bait was tip - a- niddy
Would you know or any one else about a Fred Arbogast a locas type jitter bug with a clear blade in stead or the metal one used on all the rest !!!!
The Rebel Naturalized series is one of my secret weapons for big trout. They honestly aren't well made but when they are working, DAMN they work!
I have a devils horse in package still and I wanna use it so bad but I don’t wanna take it out lol
Nice tackle box. I would like that worm . do something on that worm. Please.
The Helin Flatfish is the world's all time best selling lure. The Lazy Ike was a copy, but didn't have the same slow rolling action. The Luhr Jensen Kwikfish is another copy. None match the original Flatfish.
I bought one bill Norman weed walker lures years ago
I've never seen that color on a lucky 13. Been killing them here in western maryland on tiny lucky 13 frog color all fall. Love the old lures man
Deep Creek Lake?
@@RetroBassin no potomac and tributarys around clear spring
That was fun! I bet Ray is a good plug fisherman from the looks of it. It's always interesting to see the character and personal preferences going through someone's tackle box. Lot of great shallow and top water lures in there.
Ray had some amazing stories about Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend I wish I had gotten on video!
I have a Bagley et in fire tiger
Do you have any Rocky Jrs? I have no idea when they stopped making them. I got some from my grandpa and killed fish on them back in the 80’s. Small, jointed ultralight type minnow bait with a jointed body and metal lip. I caught so many white bass, bullhead, perch, crappie etc... and when I lost them finally, I tried finding more and they just didn’t exist anymore. Not even in the BPS Christmas 86 catalog!
One sentence: Uncle Josh pork rinds, and Possum Kingdom Lake.
I have a lot of these lures, didn't see any Poe's or Rat-l-Traps
Ret milt here yes killer b 2 milt
I have asilver big o !!
I really think a green/black and white lunker buzz should come to South Dakota
Or stay in Dripping Springs, TX! Haha
Okay you do know that the Webster's definition of antique is anything of 100 years of age or older.
My kids call me an antique all the time...
Hell yeah nice....always like finding old lures....can i join the pissmaster next year?
Bring it, good buddy!
Windy days Rainy days Sunny days If you put something in the water there is always a chance of catching a fish Oh what a sport it is!!
I had the Plano version of that box. Till it go stolen with all my old classics from the 70’s and 80’s
Double whammy! Not sure how I’d handle it if I lost my Hula Poppers and Whitesnake tapes in one fell swoop...
@@RetroBassin ya it hurt. Including my shimano bantams including the rods which also had some custom rods
Lol whitesnake 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
@@Roboworm99 Like a drifter I was born to fish alone...
@@RetroBassin 😂
@@RetroBassin I hear a new theme song coming
Hey man I got an old popper that has a huge top lip on it and I have no clue what it is and I can't find anyone that does is there a way I could send you a picture and see if you know I bought it around 1995 at a tractor supplier store it works great but don't know what kind it is.
Without spinners is called a Dying Quiver
I have lur ginseng hell bender
You’ve got quite a collection, too! Old school!
Would ray come on a video and talk about fishing the old days?
I will lobby for that! He had some amazing stories!!
@@RetroBassin that'd be awesome.
It looks like a rapla
@ 16:50 - Strike King Psycho Scout.
Oh yeah, that's the one!
I need your help a a rattle trap type lure it has 2 top fins can't find the name of it father gave it to me
Could well be a Norman. Those had two top fins!
@@RetroBassin thank you
I swear Canada is stuck in the late 80s
I'm moving.
Do you believe your reef runner was what Cotton Cordell marketed as The Gay Blade🤦🏽♂️.
Maybe not the smoothest name moving down through the decades 😬
Hey, I am a Retro-Basser in the flesh. My favorite top waters are Smithwick devils horse a Zara Spook with all the finish scraped off ( bone ) and a Lunker Lure. These are tournament grade, big fish killers. I use the 6A Bomber on rip rap and small rocky banks and points allot with the Deep wee R by Rebel, I spray paint them with canned silver paint and put orange 8 orange dots on the back ( I call these CRAWSHAD. Tournament grade Baits. I like the original 1/4 Ounce Silver and Blue Rattle trap I use magic markers to color the sides on the water to match up baitfish, another tournament-grade Bait, the 3/8 ounce is good for deep points. THANKS FOR BRINGING ALL THESE OLD BAITS OUT. THE BEST PORK FROG PORK is the No. 11 and the 101 I trail these on single blade spinnerbait fishing for 8-pound smallmouth bass at night on Wilson Laker ( Tennesse river )
Thanks for chiming in, James...love the folks who remember when the new Bass Pro Shops Master Catalog was the REAL mystery tacklebox!
I have a box with 3 times that amount of old lures lol.
Send it my way!
Great video but you should have made it a two-parter slow down and showed us every lure
The little lights aren't twinkling, Clark.
