clemmy Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I was going though the garage and came across these. I wonder if any of the rest of you have gotten into collecting some of the custom crankbaits of the past? I know I have a some others somewhere, my "filing system" leaves a bit to be desired. I know Blackjack, Skeeter, Jawjacker, Hughsey and others likely put mine to shame! I just thought it would be nice for us to start showing some of the history of handmade baits, so please post yours! Some Tennessee and Carolina lures, mostly flatsides. All but one Calvin Johnson modified baits. More recent work... More. Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 In the last photo, the three white and black baits (2 on the right, one on top) are prototypes of a "Tee Bait" made by Cliff Soward for BPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I feel sooooo old now. Most of the technology behind those lures came out during my life time. OUCH. In all seriousness, I wish I had collected like you did. Great post, fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Sweet collection. The best part is they still catch fish. I have learned a lot from those lures. Hughesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
