Looking For Pre Rapala Wiggle Warts

[dtrs5kprs]

The Spro Little John MD is an interesting little crank, I have a watermelon red one that I threw this fall for a bit. Caught a couple of bass on it on a windy chunk rock bank. Looking forward to giving it more a workout once the weather warms.

So July, basically.

it's beginning to look that way. Once upon a time I remember when I was fishing in shorts and a t-shirt and was still sweating like crazy.

Balsabee,

Loosely figured, that is $1000 worth of warts based on what they are going for on ebay.

I saw 5 unopened ones last week go for $152, used are between $10-$15.

Not saying you should sell them, just saying that people are chomping at the bit for them now.

Believe it or not I honestly wouldn't sell them if someone offered me 10 times that amount. My wife would sell them for what she knows I gave for them which is $1- $2 each. I absolutely love old tackle including the old Bagley brass lures. Here's the warts I keep in the boat. The others I posted are what I keep on the shelf.

Everyone gets all hyped up about the wiggle warts now because of the price more than anything but I tell you what the old Rebel maxi, mini, and wee r's have at times out fished the wart especially when the water is colder. Super r is a great old bait as well.

I'll take those v209's off your hands for you....you know...lighten the load. I also see a SP-90 in there.....might want to hold onto that and not take the chance of losing it in a cedar top. In 5 years that thing could be worth hundreds of dollars. The way warts are trending the last 2 years I wouldn't doubt it.

Bomber Flat A deep will clean that wart up when it is super cold, Table Rock or LOZ. Like 38-40 degrees cold.

I have heard that about the bomber flat A's. I watched a good video on it on wired2fish. I found some flat warts the other day in my dads box, do they compare to the flat A? Or should I look into buying the flat A. I have a hard time slowing down anymore than normal winter fishing but with the cold winter we have it looks like the water will stay cool for a while. At least with a flat A you can feel somewhat faster pace rather than a slow technique such as jerkbait or jig.
