And I used the one on the left quite often growing up and yes they caught fish!

Seeing those baits has brought back some good memories of my father. When we were younger we used to spend a lot of time on Toledo Bend camping and fishing. I remember him using those same type baits. We used to catch a lot of schooling bass late in the afternoon with that floater that has double blades. (I forget its name)
I will sure bid on those.
Forgot to add. I got the party hats and noise makers for the shrimp cleaning party.

Great idea on the party wear. LOL. The yellow bait belonged to Mae's dad. The other 2 came from the same friend who gave me the old push button rod and reel.

Devil's Horse chris and I think my dad still has some. They don't make them with that "fat" front end anymore that I know of. We sure caught ALOT of bass out of the pond behind our house with those growing up!

They where made by Smithwick in Shreveport, LA.

If you folks are like me, I've got all sorts of things stashed around that I haven't looked at in years. Look around, and bring them for the raffle. Also, if there are any folks that make jigs, lures, etc. that have an excess send them to us. All for a great local cause. Door prizes are fine, dandy, and fun for sure at most events. We're just a little bit different at this one. That's the way we roll.

I won the Johnson Christmas Contest prize and I really don't fish plastics so I'd like to donate that great prize to the raffle. Here's the picture

Thanks Pepop!
