RARE jigs found in an old tackle box

**shipahoy41** · 06-13-2016, 01:45 PM

I went to a neighbor who was moving and asked if he had any of his dad's fishing tackle boxes to sell. He sold me one small tackle box for three dollars. He said his dad last used it in the early fifties. In it were lots of very rare wooden Rapalas and a very unique frog. There were many tiny wooden poppers, soft plastic crickets and some crazy fish tubes. I would love for someone to make me some fish tubes exactly like these in color and in a two inch size.

Nice find!

Hard bait, bottom left looks like a perch pattern Nip I Diddee. Maybe. Missing some hardware but a good color pattern for the green fish. The jointed one above that looks like a rocky that I used to have, and it caught a lot of fish. The tab on the hook looks to be a color tab that a lot of manufacturers used to use in the 70's, and a lot of those were bright orange. Good find Ship. That frog is a genuine prize. I bet it would do well around a boathouse or two.

Those tiny poppers are dynamite on Bluegill. I might have to unpack my fly tying vise again and replicate, duplicate and imitate some of those bad boys. You have great insight my friend.

ship,

I'm pretty sure those jerkbait/tube tail hybrids were sold by the Banjo Minnow folks about 15 years ago. You might e-mail them to see if they have some left over in a crappie size.
