Old tackle box

Was at my mother’s house today and found one of my old tackle boxes.
Brought back a lot of memories of fishing old lakes and beaver swamps when I was a teenager.
Lot of old lure I had forgotten about. Cotton Cordell g finish rattle spots, Bagley fat cats, Sugar shads, Tom Mann pogo shads, Poe’s crankbaits, Loyd talent rats for fishing milfoil mats on lake Guntersville and the Doug Hannon snake bait.
Not sure what the rattle trap looking bait was with the rubber tail.

I truly regret discovering my father’s old tackle box that sort of went extinct once he married, sold out to the man and had kids. LOL..
We didn’t have much and I drowned a lot of those old baits 30+ years ago.
Old Rapala, Rattle Traps, Creek Chub and other classics. In many cases still in their original packaging.
What I’d give to have them back in my hands now.

How did you decide which lure you were going to use?
That’s always my question.

Check out this guy's YT channel. Some of the things he highlights definitely brings back some boyhood memories.
And it's got an infectious little opening ditty...

I had the same tackle box at one time.

At one point I had possession of: my father’s; my maternal grandfather’s; my maternal great grandfather’s; my own.
Last I saw of them they were in a storage building that got robbed. Idiots left behind great grandfather’s hand carved canoe paddles.
Those were some great old lures and memories. A lot of great gear too.

Bagleys with the brass hangers are very collectable.
Look them up and you may be suppressed.
Find a piece of drift wood and display them.

Nice find. My mom made a few shadow box displays with her dad's old lures and gave them out as gifts to guys in our family. Pretty cool way to remember him.

I have my grandfathers old Plano he bought it in the late 70's. It has a top tray and some pull outs underneath it. Damn thing is bullet proof through all these years. I use it for panfish tackle. I think it has numbers on it somewhere. Want to say it's a 737 or something like that. I'll go see and report back.

It was just that. Rattle trap with a plastic tail. They made them for a short time in maybe the mid to late 90s.
I have some of them, never really used them though.

I’d happily take those Poe’s off your hands if you would be so kind…..
Seriously

If anyone ever comes across some old school wiggle warts in their old boxes some go for $100 each FYI. They're super valuable for being so common back in the day

Center left - is that a top water Jitterbug?
I loved fishing with that bait. Didn’t catch much, but induced some great strikes.

Used to run into him all the time. Always enjoyed talking to him.

Would be a cool decor to hang on the wall
