    Default Found this today


    While at work I opened the door preparing to dump the can on the truck. I looked around and there was two tackle boxes, and ya just never know, so I walked over. The first one was empty and cast aside, but the second had some weight to it. I opened it up and, well, I’ll let the pics show you what was inside.

    There was enough plastic worms to stuff a gallon bag, some of which I used to buy in the 80’s. A few hard baits that I used then and still use now. Some of the Culprit worms I believe to be the original before the founder, Rodney Dan, was killed in a tournament on the Kissimmee chain of lakes. He refused to change his manufacturing process and make them fast enough to satisfy big chain stores. These were softer and more preferred by the big guns at the time. After his death, his wife needed the income and met the chain stores offers and they became what we know today. Other names on some of the other bags surprised me, I’d forgotten about them. I told my wife it was a box full of history. Thanks for looking.....Skeet

    Awesome! Those Culprit, Bass Assassin and Fiddler worm all Remind me of my Bass fishing in the 1980s.. I used Ditto Worms back then too... The plug all the way to the left reminds me of a Baby or Tiny torpedo? that one and The classic Devils Horse in the middle caught a lot of bass on Orange lake back in the day.. Nice find, congrats.

    I remember when Rodney died. Sad day indeed.
    I’m interested in that frog Devils horse if you want to get rid/sell it.
