What's your oldest lure that you use regularly?

Don't know what it is called or who made it, but it is a topwater yellow/black stripped tiger minnow made of wood with propellers on the front/back. It's at least 35 years old. Still get's 'em in. I nearly grounded my boat trying to rescue it the other day from some shoreline shrubs.

Nip I Didee. Been catching a few on them lately too.

Have used a Johnson Silver Minnow before, but not within the past year.

Robert,

Devils Horse is a very common, well liked lure even today. We had a discussion about them recently, along with other propbaits.

Pop R I guess. I've got a few cranks in the box that are 20+ but don't really use them much.

Thank's WTL...Now that I know what it's called I'll do a search on it. I've been out of the game for 10 years or so and have just gotten back into fishing heavy, so I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty.

Well you came to the right place. Let us know if you need any more help, as long as you really need advice there is always someone willing to help out here.

Bmuskin · 07-25-08, 03:12 PM

A old yellow Hula Popper. It is my good luck charm. Even if I don't catch anything on it. I cast it a couple oftimes then BINGO catch a fish on something else.

crankybait · 07-25-08, 03:16 PM

Hmm... oldest lure I throw is the devils horse. Although I haven't caught much on it, I still like any propellor lure and throw it frequently

Jim80 · 07-25-08, 03:45 PM

unfortunately a couple years back we lost the majority of our tackle during a move so most the stuff we fish with is new

Fishnngolfn · 07-25-08, 03:50 PM

I fish mostly plastics so it is rare that a lure will last beyond 24 to 48 ours after it has been placed on the hook.
