is a heatwave here so went for a couple swins at locations near the lake where bottles could of been thrown and also where people go fishing . no bottles of any value . but did find several fishing lures worth keeping .
in the picture is a Rapala ( almost brand new ) , a mepps and a silver williams a popular lure in canada . it cost at a bait shop in total around $ 20 to get these 3 lures new .

Nice find. I wish I'd have kept all of my old Rapala. Had too many of them. Step-brother's father was a part owner in a sporting goods shop and everytime Rapala came out with new lures, we'd get a small brown bag full of them to test out. I was more of a Texas rigged Mr Twister Phenom Worm guy so I just gave them away to friends. I do have some old Hula Poppers/Jitterbugs/Little Cleos and the like....and a few old Jensen Luhr pieces..

Love fishing tackle, new or old.

DJ, I haven't even thought about selling them etc..
That is my favorite night time bass lure also.

On the lake I grew up on, we'd take the canoe out and just float around bumping docks with the Phenom Worms for bass all day. At night we'd put the Hula Poppers and Jitterbugs on and bump docks with those. Then on weekends we'd pull the bass boat out for local tourneys.
Jitterbugs are scary lol. that calming blub blub blub and then hearing a sound like a toilet flushing when a bass jumps and slams it. I'll have to look at the ones I have.
I think I have a large black, a small black(love the fat body on the smaller ones), a yellow one and a white with red head one. I'll dig them out and see what I have. Wish I wasn't 8hrs from home. I have tackle boxes full of nothing but Lil' Cleos, spinner baits, Jitterbugs, worms and Hula Poppers. Might have to see if mom will drive over to dad's (now step-brother's, since dad passed in 03) house and snag them for me...

went for another swim in gravenhurst , didn't find much in terms of bottles but found 2 older mepps lures that i though were neat . both had been in the water for a long time , the hook completely rusted off the one and almost on the other . the red one is a mepps 3 and silver is mepps 3 as well , but haven't seen a mepps before that had a blue round centre .

Hey Guys. I'm assuming we're all guys, I don't remember seeing any posts from Gals. Anyway, there is a story with this lure.

My Son and I were out early one morning, early in the year in a Pike Tournement on Lake Coeur d' Alene up here in northern Idaho. It is a cast and retrieve deal. On one cast I hooked something solid that gave a little and pulled back a few times. We have some 30 pounders in there so I thought I had a Winner. Turns out it was this lure, attached to about 100 yards of 10 pound test monofiliment. We ended up not catching anything except Small Mouth Bass that entire day.
