Chief Grey Bear Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Some you here know that I like using old school lures. To me it is just a heck of a lot of fun to use the same things that was used 50-60 even 70 years ago. Now I am not saying that I am out there tossing 70 year old lures for bass. That could be insane, but I do use some that were produced in the late 50's and early 60's But for todays photo, I am using a Hawaiian Wiggler, a name dates back to the 1930's. They are one of, if not first "spinnerbait" type lure produced. The one I am using was produced in the late 50's. Still in great shape only the skirt has been replaced. Anyway here is one of the bass I caught the other day with a great lure from a bygone era.

I remember buying those at Central Hardware in St Louis in 19long time ago along with my favorite all time night topwater bait the black Jitterbug.
Chief Grey Bear Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 That particular HW has a trailer hook on it. I was fishing with Corndawg last weekend at an MDC CA. This fish came from a different pond from the one he caught his 7lb'er. I had 5-6 on before I finally got this one in. I don't know what the deal was but, I just couldn't get one to the bank. I had one pretty nice one on too. It would probably gone 3lbs or so anyway. I have never had any trouble bringing in a fish before on any type of spinnerbait. But this day was not the case and I really can't put my finger on what it was. Anyone else ever experience this???

Chief Grey Bear Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Wonder if the 80 year old hook could have anything to do with it? I knew somebody was gonna hit on that. No, I actually checked that while I was out there. Both hooks had very sharp points. Although it is not the quality steel hooks used today.

fishinSWMO Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I like the way the lure's shadow fits on your shirt! Great catch on the old bait! Jeremy Dodson
