Cant beat Harry N Charlie !

Ike happens....

Remarkable video.

Hildebrandt has always been the best blades you can purchase! The Oceechobee Special was! And still is the best spinnerbait ever produced! First made in Logansport Indiana 1893! Being from Chicago The Johnson Silver Minnow and The Hildebrandt Blade models were some of the best fishing metal you could fish! And the Daredivil Spoons!

I used to fish a in-line buzz bait with a Mr. Twister Hawg Frog on it back in the early 80's. I was just a kid who didnt know much about bass fishing. But i was always tinkering with different baits to see what would work.

I am intrigued with the amount of aftermarket parts available for these old reels. However, I am of the mind and experience that a true “super tune” is not a part change out only. It must involve polishing machined surfaces to a mirrored finished. The ends of the spool axle need a mirrored finish. The square brass pieces in the casting adjust knob need a mirror finish. The spool axle where it contacts the pinion gear needs a mirror finish. The inside of the pinion gear needs a mirror finish. All surfaces involved in the drag mechanism need a mirror finish. Polishing the inside of the brake drum to a mirrored finish will in crease braking control and casting distance. Polishing these surfaces will greatly reduce friction in the reel. This is true super tuning in my most humble opinion. Great video with good information on after market parts.

If they had only known back then what was coming down the pike

One of my favorite anglers. Funny how his name is pronounced liv-a-see. Good guy. Thank you for the interview.

Great angler! I hope he will return to BASS one day and compete for the Classic.

Great guy! So happy for his success and living his dream! Thank you for the interview. I hope you can talk to Takahiro Omori also.

Buck Perry knew more about fishing than any man who ever lived. He was a true genius.

Loved it...I've got a 1500C but, I'm keeping it OG....it's too much fun!!! 😊

Mr Lee sisson. I have 2 of your custom rods. One is signed by you. I need some info on them please? I'm between a rock amd a hard place unfortunately may need to sell them.

Very cool. Hope it brings back good memories.

AWESOME" THANKS FOR SHARING! I'VE GOT MOSTLY FENWICK BORON X RODS! JUST PUT A MODERN REEL ON IT AND BEEN THROWING THAT FOR FUN-SUPER ACCURATE AND LIGHT!

I just picked me up one of these this afternoon found this video only one on TH-cam

can the 5000C1 be super tuned ?

I still have a Lew’s Speed Stick, Pistol Grip,with a BB1 Lew Childres reel❤

I have dozens of Lee Sisson Lures that I bought years ago, still in original packaging,including his weedless square bills😜

What a great interview !! I’m a huge Bagley fan!! Growing up in Florida. We can go to the local Albertsons and pick up Bagley baits as mom shopped… then take them to the canal behind our house and catch bass right out of the package !! What memories !!

Terry, thanks for getting Lee to share such wonderful memories!! Doc

Terry have you ever heard of the touchdown worm it was made in Columbus, Indiana. A pre-rigged worm that had a bend in the middle kind of shaped like an L it was a fish catcher it was probably a more of a regional thing. As always great show 👍👍👍

I love these stories! I still have my Lew's Speed Stick I bought with my birthday money when I was 10 years old. Best 19.99 I ever spent! My step father almost had a cow that I spent so much for a fishing rod, but since it was my money he just kind of laughed ; ) I also have a Lew Childres graphite speed stick with a Lew Childres reel BB-1lMG, no serial numbers it just says 'made in Japan' on the bottom. Must be a much later reel? I got it in a second hand tackle store in Summerdale, Alabama which is just a few miles north of Foley. thank you for all the history!

Lee Sisson is a legend ... and a great person. One of my favorite people.

My favorite part of the videos there all great but I'm a lews fan I enjoy learning everything I can about there history along with Manns...Sisson..lew's...bagley... norman.... chambers what I'd give to of been a fly on the wall back then that cane pole is awesome

Great series. Lee needs to write a book. He's got so many great stories.

I love this stuff, Terry!

Awesome series Terry! Was very glad to wake up to this

This has to be my favorite series to date❤. I'm just a HUGE Lee Sisson fan.

This is awesome!.

The Bass-N-Shad was one of the best crankbaits of all time. I wish they still made them.

Love this show 👍👍💯💯💯💯

Loving the series! Made my day waking up to Pt.2. Can't wait for Pt.3!

The funny part was, Tom hand built the first dozen or two protos of what became the Natural Ike, starting with a Bagley DB3 and a lot of hand sanding. I miss Tom and the 8 page letters hand printed on yellow legal pad sheets, replete with detailed diagrams.

Great Series. Looking Forward to the next.

The bait works so good I still make them just like that pretty much Except I Spray them by hand

Man, he has some great stories. Thanks for preserving some of them, Terry.

Bagley's are my all time favorite . The DDKB2 will come through a tree top better than any other, it will also catch the fire out of bass hiding in those tops! I probably have 200 Bagley baits, most are the Kill'r Bee 2. The Honey Bee and Kill'r Bee 1 also got plenty of use, with many battle scars. I do have a few Sisson baits, but they were not as easy to find. Great baits though.

Love this content buddy! So much history to be told 🖖🎣

I love history and I love to bass fish so for me these videos are fantastic.

Lee did fairly well in B.A.S.S. Opens and had a brief stint on the B.A.S.S. Elite series.

This trip is on my 2024 bucket list!

Great video love the history of the art

As a bait builder I love this series with legendary builders. Great job Terry 👍

Great stories! Can't wait to hear more.

After watching this interview (again), I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for the Nishine name brand. Without reading and watching content from Bass Fishing Archives, such as the Big Bass Podcast and Bass Fishing at Night channels, I don't think I could have recognized Mr. Nishine's story to be (possibly more) deserving of legendary recognition as Patrick Sabile's has been. Your passion is definitely recognized, Terry. I can't thank you enough.

If that house on Lake Biwa was haunted, it was "haunted" by fishermen, and will continue to be so if humanity still matters.

I got to meet and speak with him back at the Bass a thon. Just a fascinating man with loads and loads of fishing knowledge. Great Interview guys

Terry, This was an awesome show that brought back great memories for me. As a kid growing up in Hickory NC I had the great fortune to have Blake take me fishing several times on Norman and Wylie (an incredible experience for me) and know Rodney as well. My dad bought my first boat from Blake, none other than a red Ranger TR. Thanks again for the great history from this and all your other videos.

I was in a really weird place, this time last year. "I'm feeling much better now" -The Sixth Sense (movie). Berkeley really seems to have a corporate version of Munchausen by proxy. All they had to do was not treat Grow Design Works like they were insignificant. The timing couldn't have been worse as Spro had just released the Chad Shad in collaboration with KGB himself. Now, it's going to take a while for them to get over the well deserved stigma.
