Original Tackle,gear,that Caught Pb? 2025

Squirmin Wormin reply :

Some of us that have aquired a pb have gotten it on a specific lure or bait certainly. And whatever rod/reel combo you had that you caught your pb . I was just wondering if you still have that gear,lure, etc. you caught your pb with and if you still use it ? I myself don't have any of that, would be something to have and reminisce over with that pb . That was 31 yrs ago though and lost it over the yrs .

Still remember it like it happened yesterday catching that pb and what lure too. I know i used a spinning rod/reel combo but can't remember which brand it was. So do you still have that gear,lure, etc that caught your pb or not? and do you still use it ? some might not use it because sentimental reasons, first pb and all , and some might continue using it and doesn't matter either way if they use it or don't.

like your thoughts on this. And like i said ( wish i had my gear tackle ,etc..) you don't think about that stuff until its gone. only thing left is my bass on the wall , Thank god.

Catch and Grease reply :

Yup still have it all! Heck I was using the same jig I caught my PB on yesterday... A lot of the paint has come off the head lol

Dwight Hottle reply :

Yes I have the baits & the rod/reel I caught both bass PB's on. Smallie & largemouth. Once you catch a PB on a particular bait that bait becomes a big fish bait to use again.

I caught mine on a 6" spro BBZ floater, that bait catches way too many fish for me to retire it! Fishing gear is made to catch fish, that's what I use it for!

RSM789 reply :

Still have the rod & reel, but the hook, weight & Roboworm were soon sacrificed to a sunken Christmas tree.

Mr_Scrogg reply :

Lure, no. It was a ARig I borrowed.

Rod and Reel, yes sir.

Raul reply :

Berkley Lightning Rod, LR16 5'6", Abu Garcia Ambassadeur XLT Plus, Berkley Trilene Big Game 12 Lbs, Rapala Shad Rap SR7 SD. With the exception of the line I still have everything, it hasn't been decomissioned, just not used as much as it was.

WRB reply :

1994 or 20 years ago since I caught my 19.3 lb FLMB. Still have the Lamiglas Ti705 rod, Daiwa TD103HTSA reel, both retired now. Don't have the exact custom hair jig, however still fish with the same 7/16 oz hair jigs in the same colors and same style pork rind trailer. No longer use P-line CXX 12 lb line.

Bluebasser86 reply :

No longer own the rod or reel I caught my PB largemouth on, still own everything I caught my last PB smallmouth on down to the crankbait it ate.

Jrob78 reply :

I might still have the rod and reel, I don't really remember what I was using. The bait was a RI Sweet Beaver, so I obviously don't still have that.

SirSnookalot reply :

Only memento is a jig head I caught my first tarpon on, it hangs off the hat I was wearing which I don't wear anymore.

A-Jay reply :

Yes.

Both Lmb & Smb PB's were taken quite recently so I have the gear.

I will say that every time I see or use the lures that I caught them on, it always makes me smile.

Light/fast action trout Rod, 6lb line, jitterbug. I still have everything.

tholmes reply :

ABU Ambassadeur 5000, 5'6" Lew's Speed Stick and a purple Mann's Jelly Worm. Still have the reel, broke the rod years ago, and the Jelly worm is long gone.

new2BC4bass reply :

Use the same rod and reel. Changed the line last year, but used line off the same filler spool. STX-L with 40# Sufix Performance on a Falcon 7' MH Original. Still fish 10" unweighted worms, but not that particular one.

PB Smallmouth was on a RoosterTail. No longer have the rod or reel or that particular lure, but still fish a RoosterTail occasionally.

WIGuide reply :

Still have the rod and reel, but unfortunately lost the bait.

Goose52 reply :

Still have the rod and reel (the PQ 5-Year Challenge test reel) in service. The bait used (1/2 oz lipless crank) is on disply in the den/office/bunker/man cave.

FlipSide reply :

Still have the bait but the rod and reel both broke

Felix77 reply :

PB Smallmouth - 7'M Spinning - Shakey head and mag shakey worm

PM Largemouth - 7'M Spinning - Drop shot

tomustang reply :

I'm a tackle hoarder, of course I have everything

Brian6428 reply :

Not really. Rod broke, got thrown away. Reel broke, I still have it but don't want to fix a crappy reel. I lost the jig shortly after, as well.

mjseverson24 reply :

rod? --> yes (7' skeet reese glass rod)

reel? --> yes ( evercast "navy" reel)

lure? --> yes (bandit pumpkinseed squarebill) only caught this one fish, it was immediately retired, but i bought 2 more to replace it...

line? --> uh no...

John G reply :

Still have the rod, a Loomis MBR844IMX. I regretfully sold the reel, Curado 50E. The worm was a Bass Assasin worm in Red Shad.

FishTank reply :

I still have the rod and reel. the lure was a zoom lizard, Texas rigged. The rod was a MH xf 6'8"st crioix avid with a shimano stradic. I was using 6lb pline fluoroclear. My fish was 10lb 2oz and I still dream of it.

David P reply :

Thankfully, my tournament fishing partner was wise enough to question me after I took my first cast with my jig that had just on the previous cast caught a 13lber. I looked at him, cursed, and reeled it back in quickly, cut it off, and shoved it in my pocket. It now hangs over the top of a printed photo of the fish and I am grateful that my buddy had the brains to tell me to save it. Rod and reel, no longer do I have, but the bait, you bet I do (helps that I made the bait myself).

basseditor reply :

I have no sentimental attachment but have rod and the reel is on a different rod. Lost the crank bait.

deep reply :

Trashed the line after a few trips, then snagged and lost the bait, sold the rod, sold the reel.
