50 greatest lures of all time

[troutdude]

I had some time to kill today; so I stopped at a second hand store in Junction City and looked around. I found a small box of lures, and dug up a couple of original Little Cleo spoons (w/ the belly dancer stamped/etched into them). It got me to thinking about a Field & Stream article that I recall reading 6 years ago. Here is that article online, for your viewing enjoyment:

Pretty cool thanks for sharing man

You're welcome. I have used many of them over the last 45 years, with much success.

For bass, I especially like the Hula Poppers with frog pattern and black tails; and the Lucky 13's...either white n' red or green/black n' red. An all black Hula Popper is also a great topwater lure.

For other species (and for bass), I like the ORIGINAL Daredevil spoon (red & white stripes on the front w/ a COPPER backside); the Little Cleo Spoons, Rooster Tails, and Kastmaster's.

What a score, you hit the mother load.... I have a collection of the same lures, most of them are older than me.... No they are not made of rock:think: . My point is I still use them to catch fish, along with the new ones, not sure which are better... good catch for you!!!
