The Cordell grub was night and day better. Thinner tail.

Mud bug, Spin Rite, Tarantula.

Big O, super R, Deep Jim, original wood bomber in black, hellbender, and the black jitterbug at night. Loved those baits.

The Cordell grub was night and day better. Thinner tail.

Most definitely better....I still have several in both watermelon and smoke. The plastic used to make those is tougher than shoe leather.

I grew up in Hot Springs where those were made. Used to buy them from the outlet store at the plant by the 100 bag. Smoke and army green colors (same as watermelon I'm sure).

I hope one doesn't mind me piggybacking this read...I have 5 large tackle boxes full of tackle from my grandfather whom had passed. I really started looking through some of it while reminiscing. Some of the stuff has not been taken out of the packages. Old zorro spinnerbaits, daredevil spoons, old rapalas, lazy Ike's and all the old good stuff when nothing was over about a $1.50.

There is about 10 or so brand new balsa bagleys. I don't bass fish at all with the exception of smallies. Daredevils I can use up north for pike. But the bagleys kind of leave me scratching my head. Do you bass guys still use baits like this? What are the old ones worth if anything? Enlighten me. I'll attach a couple of pictures as example of a couple of them.

Thanks gents for any info..

I most definitely still use them!!
