Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Btw, it looks like I'll have to retract my much earlier statement about the Jackall Bling 55. They are back in production and I ordered some from landbigfish. They seem to have most colors in stock.

I miss the Lucky Craft Flat DR especially in Japan Craw.
Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
most desired is bagley's small fry in tiger stripe, shallow for streams/creeks. 2nd place any color of Renosky Guido's Double Image.
Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
Rapala DT7 Flat and DT3 Flat. Of course Ott's flat series might be the solution

LC Flat Mini DR - Best all around crank, especially for ripping milfoil in clear water.
Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
Seems like "OG" equates to "made in USA"...I'm sure there are plenty I'm missing, like Finnish made Rapalas.
If I had to pick just one for where I fish today in TN, probably the OG Bandits, they were priced well and had a great series.
Some others off the top of my head:
Yozuri Hard Core Drum lipless
OG Strike King shallow diver (akin to Mann's Baby 1-minus)
Chug Bug
OG Bomber Mud Bug and 7A
OG Wiggle Wart
OG Bandits
OG Bagleys
OG cedar Poes
Xcalibur Spit'n Image, XR/XRK lipless.
Lots of plastics too...too many to list actually for soft plastics, but I'll drop da Gillraker 8" worm in red shad...man, I used to crush CalDelta bass on this color from spring through summer.

We used to slay on one of my home lakes with those old SK shallow divers. They made a pattern that was heavy on the purple...neon shad perhaps. Anyways, that was one of my top baits back in the day.
Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
Yeah they had some great patterns, yellow perch as well that was great in some bass ponds in north-central Colorado. So sad that one day the replacements I ordered were not even the same baits, action or hooks.Gone Phishin wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 9:29 amdragon1 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:13 pmSeems like "OG" equates to "made in USA"...I'm sure there are plenty I'm missing, like Finnish made Rapalas.

Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
Was the Spence Scout (with the rubber skirt on back) the "OG Strike King shallow diver" you guys are referring to? It was sold as snag-resistant, with its metal bill and metal anal fin in front of the rear hook--can someone who used one tell me whether it came through fallen timber any better than other shallow crankbaits?
The Mud Bug was an Arbogast lure, not a Bomber product. Love those Bomber 5As for stream smallmouth.
I liked the original Bagley Small Fry Bluegill, which was a bit bigger and had a different bill than the versions I've seen since.

That's not the bait I was referring to. The one I was was your basic shallow diving crank.
Re: What is your favorite discontinued lure?
Ah that's right, it was an Arbogast! Thanks for correcting me. Also to echo Gone Phishin, the SK shallow diving crank I'm speaking of is not the Spence Scout.Bronzeye wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 12:32 pmWas the Spence Scout (with the rubber skirt on back) the "OG Strike King shallow diver" you guys are referring to?

I have to try the new 5A as it still gets solid reviews for stream type fishing and smallies. Bagley evidently also has some strong value squarebills now.
