I am presently looking through my tackle box. I have a few lures given to me by some old codgers through the years.

Who knows, maybe I even have a paid fishing trip or two to places I have always wanted to fish at in it.

I once saw a list in Outdoor Life, of the world’s most popular lures.

The only one I remember was the Mepps Spinner, made in France was number 1.

Lucky 13 and Torpedo are still being manufactured today.

I caught more big bass on the frog pattern Lucky 13 than any other lure. Lost the last one fishing for striped bass on Lake Travis.

I've got a tackle box filled with old lures that were owned by my dad and grandfather........

I'll have to pull them out and see if they're worth anything.......

Who made the Jitterbug? My uncle caught lots of lunker bass with that one.

I don’t know about any lures, but I do have a number of my Dad’s old Mitchell 302 salt water spinning reels.
