I found an antique white with a red head Lucky 13 several years ago and vowed to fish with it but I would be very careful so as not to lose it. It was an old one. I used it a couple of times and had OK luck (i.e., I didn't catch any fish but I didn't lose it either). Then I tied it on one evening and started carefully casting it and about the 5th cast it went straight up in a tree a lot higher than I could reach or even climb to. Man, I hated myself for fishing with it.

I also had an old Rebel Humpback with a short bill on it that I used one time on the White River and I was tearing up on trout with it. It was from my Dad's fishing box and it was probably from back in the 70's. Our guide finally asked me what it was I was using and I showed it to him. He said he'd never seen one of those but boy that thing was catching some fish! I ended up losing it too...
