Jitterbug
Sam reply :
Jitterbug X2.
Still fun to watch that bait in the water.
Newer versions have better colors.
Lund Explorer reply :
Pre-Rigged 3 hook plastic worm. K & E Worm or Kelly's Plow Jockey. You don't fish them like a Senko, you fish a Senko like them.
Floating Rapala Minnow. Makes for a very subtle topwater in clear shallow water.

X2^ The old inline spinners are still consistent producers.
A shout out for the Silver Buddy, too. I used to have a Do-It mold to make these, but I loaned it to a guy and he disappeared along with my mold.

J Francho reply :
Buddies, Shorty Spoons, Lil' Cleos, Zara Spooks, are few that still get a place in my tackle boxes.
J_Pearson reply :
If Buddies count, add me to the list. THE most effective winter lure up here in Indiana. I'll take that statement to the bank.
Pre-rigged worms are straight nasty in the dog-days of summer up here. If you throw them enough, you'll finish in the money in August Ts.

Bluebasser86 reply :
Jelly Worms! I have some old spots also that are long and not very tall top to bottom. Can't remember what they are called but they still catch fish. Also have some orginal Thinfins and Wiggle Warts that I don't know what I'll do when I lose them.
Bankbeater reply :
Jitterbugs and big-o's period.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Devils Horse and a Hula Popper.
zip pow reply :
Original bagley db3 1970 or earlier at least the baits without a bar code on the back there great.
aclark609 reply :
Rebel F30s minnow in Gold/Black. They quit making them, but I still have a few. Burn it, twitch it on top, or fish it like a jerkbait. Kills in shallow clear water.
Jigfishn10 reply :
Bayou Boogie and inline spinner.
00 mod reply :
Devils Horse by a mile, but cleo's for trout and panfish are fun!

Dinky reply :
M-80's and a dip net. Too old school for you? Ok, then a 1/4 ounce jig and Uncle Josh pork frog.
WRB reply :
I am Oldschool!
#1 lure for me is my hair jig with Pedigo style pork rind 4" lizard; over 300 DD bass, top 5 rivals anyones top 5: 19.3, 18.6, 17.6, 17.4 & 17.4, hows that for going old school!
Musky jitter bug, wood Bombers, Mud bugs, Smithwick Paw Scooters and Buck n' Brawl top waters, Bomber model 7A's, giant 12 to 16 T-rigged worms, twin spins, the list could go on and on.

What Mumpy said. The other night, using my oldest Devil's Horse, the flouro knot slipped through the little gap in the hook eye, while getting ready to lip a bass and then watched in horror as he swam away into the dark tannin stained water.
If it's any consolation, he had the lure choked half way down and sideways, so he might not be very long for this world. I've been meaning to cull some fish out of this farm pond for a while anyway.
