[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3243687, member: 5412"] My dad had some of those translucent lures in his tackle box. He said they worked well, but think he lost them to snags before I had a chance to use them after his demise. Speaking of classic lures, dad and grandpa made most of their own. Huge Hula poppers that threw water a foot in front of it, and hand carved crankbaits that caught fish. Not home at the moment, but if this thread is alive when getting home, I'll post pics of the hand made stuff. A classic bait that I used to win a tourney was a jitterbug in frog color. I caught hell from the other guys but had witnesses from other boats that couldn't' believe that bait was being used. When I rolled into the weigh in, had a lure that looked like a double kitchen sink with treble hooks attached that my dad gave me hanging off the front of the boat for some humor and an indication of how hard we had to fish that day. Keep in mind that most tackle is meant to catch the eye of a buyer, not necessarily the eye of a fish. Put just about any bait in front of a fish with the right presentation, and you can catch it.
