Im totally in agreement with you Jordan on the hula grubs and deffinetley the original wiggle warts...those crankbaits can be deadly . Thats the only crankbait my dad threw back in the day. I will gladly buy any originals if there is anyone on here that has some and doesnt care for them. Anyone? Dez?

Besides all the ones already mentioned I'll throw in the Reaction Innovation Swamp Donkey and the Vixen/Barely Legal Vixen. Paycheck's Repo Man is the Vixen mold, but I don't think the baits are exactly the same...

Just thought of another that I always have in the boat when the shallow crank bite is on the lucky craft RC series, and the cb 100 in the chameleon color. I have quite a few RC cranks lucky enough but it has become número UNO in recent years for waters less than 5 feet

Hey Ron,

 

When I was back at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO for meetings late last year they had several huge dump bins filled to the brim with old RC 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 crankbaits at the outlet store for around $5 a piece.  Apparently the reason being due to the sponsorship fall-out with Rick Clunn.  I believe Takahiro Omori is the new angler on the packaging.  I will be back in Q1 of this year for meetings with Bass Pro and will be happy to score you some if there are colors/sizes left that you are interested in.  I'll shoot you a call or text.

 

Take care,

Excalibur - Fat Free Shad. Curado D series reel. Daiwa HSTLA. And agree that the Terminator spinnerbaits from 2-3 years ago have better blades than the ones I have seen on the shelves lately.

I love my Curado D.  Lure wise just the original Terminator spinnerbait.

I've thought about getting some original warts, but they command upwards of $30 each for the ones with good patterns on them.  Bass boat central is a good place to find them.

+1 for the Daiwa Sol Spinning Reels - My Favorite Spinning Reel of All time

+1 for the RI Vixen, was lucky to score about a dozen of them but they are awesome.

Here's another RI item that is no longer made that I miss - The Squeaky Dolphin Buzzbait. That thing rocked and I broke the last one I had.
