Rebel Jointed in Gold with a Black back & white belly... Challenger makes one similar but I keep repainting and retuning my old one. It holds a special place in my pike box.

A real Hula popper would be nice too. The new ones are shiza.

I miss the old FLW baits.

Nibbles reply :

I have 2 - both made by Gene Larew baits. First is their skirted finesse craw, and second is their floating finesse craw. Damned hard to find these days.

jdw174 reply :

Gillraker worms. That double "S" tail had fantastic action with the lightest weights. They also made a floating model with that tail. I still have a few left but not many.

^X2. The only worms I've ever used that I would prefer over the Culprit.

I do too! They used to make a 6" craw worm (I don't remember what it was called) that I loved.

BPS tournament series squirming worm 8'' electric blue fire tail! The 8'' was thicker than the 6'' they still make and the 10'' just isn't the same!

Thanks. Might have to give them a call to see if those are current. Details on Zetabait on Google are pretty sketchy.

Munkin reply :

Kangaroo grub is the top of my list for soft plastics and Rapala Fat Rap in CW for hard baits.

Berkley kills me with discontinuing baits that work well; fat dover, drop shot worm and the 3" power hawg. If anyone has any of these they want to trade let me know as I may have something you are looking for.

IntroC reply :

Berkely Frenzy diver crank bait and also their lipless crank as well. Have caught a lot of fish on these baits.

Bigbarge50 reply :

I still use a berkley lipless crank that was half lipless crank, half soft plastic tail..... that thing flat out catches them, yet have not seen it in years.

While not Berkley these culprits were decent. It's the last I have and won't use.

Uncle Leo reply :

Sub Wart and Mid Wart. Can still find some on occasion but limited in colors. I have a Sub Wart in a Bullfrog Pattern that has caught me many of Bass. Good thing it is sub surface.

FisinCrazee reply :

Scorpion 'short arm' 1/4 oz spinner bait in both white and chartreuse. They were just dynamite on the tidal rivers here in Southeast Virginia. Have three or four but will not use and take chance losing to toothy critters. Really do miss them as they were one of two of my main baits on the Chickahominy River. Bob

I have two team supreme hahn spinnerbait featuring the hahn blade which was a colorado n willow blade in one actually sucks that team supreme went outta business cuz they had other good baits too

and Hart Thumper spinner bait

Ultralight Maniac reply :

Don't remember who made them but they were called Western Weenie Worms.

I would take them and run hairs from a horses tail through them about 1 1/2" back of the head and call them Woolie Weenie Worms.

They were deadly on bedding bass when rigged up like that.

Mann's draggin' worm (i think) in white/pearl blue.(has a snake-like head,straight lightly-ribbed body, and a pointed tail.)Wood Bombers in christmas tree or perch pattern- any size. Dance craw.
