To You Guys That Pull

Man, if you are going to put them in the shed need to keep an eye on them so they don't rust up. Wish I had taken better care of all the old baits I use to have back in the 60's. However maybe rust is not a big issue where you are, but here it's bad and any metal that's not stainless will rust fast.

I have all my baits, even the bass baits that I am not using hardly at all now in the AC so they keep in good shape. Bet I have about 100 or more that have never even been taken out of their packages, LOL!

Thats where i goofed up, but i was'nt at the time even thinking of keeping them. The ones in their original boxes fetch a higher price. This lure collecting is all new to me. I new some guys collected old lures, but as i said, i thought old meant 90 OR 100 YEARS. I gotta get out more, there's no tellin what i've thrown away i should'nt have...izzy

Don't feel like you are the only one in that boat, cuz I am right there with you!

izzy, I personally troll Bandits because thats the only crank bait I've ever used for crappie. However, I think anything that looks like a shad would work. I like the Bandits because you can stop the boat to bring in a fish and the rest of your cranks will just float to the top until you get under way again. I'd be happy to troll some with you at the October crappie camp if you're up to it. Speck

Good point speckhunter...I catch good sized crappie on the smallest rattletrap they make..but they sink. I'd agree with everyone, try all these..but I usually fish with those that would be the smallest in your collection.

Good Luck
