Found an original wart!

[Tyler Martin]

Was fishing the Cape Fair area last weekend. Nature was calling so I had to shore the boat. When I got out I couldn't help but see a wart laying on the bank. I casually picked it up thinking it was a new one, but to my surprise it was a pre rap wart. Its definately been in the water for awhile and needs new hooks, but seeing as this is the only pre rap wart I have ever had I was very excited! Nothing like finding some good extra lures on your day out.

Nice, you might be surprised at what can be found along the banks.  I got several hundred lures on my barn wall of fishing lures I've found on the lake.  The best trip I ever had was over 40 hard plastic baits.

Got out to look for mushrooms around Stockton and found these, I'm not sure if it is an original. I also found a mountain of bobbers.

I think you should try and find the former owner! Me!

some of those pre rap warts, are going for astronomical prices, facebook has a pre rap wiggle wart page, and I've seen some go for over 50.00,

Thanks for finding that Wart I lost. I'll pm my address so you can send it to me.?

Walking the banks is one of my favorite things to do during the winter time. I'll fill a few 3700 boxes full of baits every year just walking the banks. Last time I was at Table Rock I found a couple War Eagle spinnerbaits, a LC 100 pointer, a LC 100DD pointer, a red craw pre-rap wart, and a MB 110 Magnum along with several other cheaper baits.  I ended up catching a lot of my fish that trip on the Megabass before the lip fell off. Same trip my buddy walked 100 yards by the ramp at Shell Knob and found 16 baits. Same guy did that at a little lake in OK and found 18, including a pre-rap wart and a custom painted 10XD. 

Get out and stretch your legs a little and you'll be amazed what you find.

It's like a treasure hunt when water levels drop on super pressured waters.

Be sure to get some epoxy and put around the loops where the hooks go into the body.  These rust some and can pull out. The epoxy will help secure them.
