I started fishing with a rod and Zebco 202 at the age of 7. My Dad was a milker/tobacco farmer so we fished after milking morning or night. I would go to Western Auto in Campbellsville and buy Lisk Lures Lil Skunk, Heddon Sonic, Creme worm harness purple with red tail, and Rooster Tails. Lil Skunk was a favorite because bluegill could not resist.
Bass hit the Creme and Sonic. Rooster Tail caught everything. But probably more fish hit the frying pan because of a #6 Mustad hook and wiggling red worm.

What was your favorite?
