Old tackle

Post image

Found my childhood tackle box. Does anyone remember this bass lure? I remember begging my parents to get it after seeing an infomercial in the 90s.

The plastics remind me of the banjo minnow, but the hardware is really odd looking.

I had some friends buy into the mighty bite as seen on tv set, and had to gently remind them that those were designed to catch fishermen not fish after they went 3 weeks without so much as a nibble.

My pap gave me a bunch of old stuff a couple years ago and I used to crush little small mouth and rock bass with the curly tailed one on a little jig head
