Until I lost my last one it was a Heddon Tiny Chugger. Looked a lot like a Pop-R.

Thank you Reb. I remembered it being a Heddon product because it was in a green backboarded pack. Man, that was a bad little son of a gun. If you find them I will make you an offer, if you want to sell them.

I know that you can still get this lure, but I think of it as vintage. It is a Jitterbug! I use to fish with them all the time and catch a bunch of bass. I think of it as vintage probably because you don't here it talked about.

I love Jitterbugs! Pretty fond of Hula Poppers as well

Every now and then I gotta' take a break and give my arm a rest with a slower moving bait.

Don't have the ones that I did fish because they either got all busted up or lost or stolen. Quite honestly I'm really not sure what's considered a vintage bait. I do have a bunch of old wiggle warts from twenty years ago, primarily just fish those in the spring. I've tried in summer and fall but they don't produce for me like other cranks do at those times. How about the Strike King Jelutong Glitter finish cranks, are those vintage? I still will use those once in a while. All my Big "O's" and Bagley's from the 70's and 80's are long gone.

The sponsor in the banner says they have 6" jelly worms for you.

I've got a few crankbaits that I rarely use but they are from the 70's and 80's.....vintage??? Charlie O, Carin O, and Bagley KB I. I do have a couple P-70 Pop-R's and I use one all the time.

Creek Chub Darter made of wood, frog in color with a concave belly. It rarely sees the water anymore but I watched my grandfather catch many large bass on that bait.

My grandfather gave me his original Devil Horse 30+ years ago and it was wood. I bought 4 of them the other day and I think they are plastic. Now here is the trick, If you tweak the prop in the front, you can walk the dog with it. Color is the key like this one, clear to muddy waters. http://www.lurenet.com/productdetail.aspx?id=5942
