Back in the day I worked at a bank, and what got me through those long days in one building dealing with difficult customers was my fishing trips to the lake or river Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was a personal day …just me out in the water not having to deal with anybody and then Sunday I ‘d go with either my friends, dad or cousin. It’s a past time that is not strongly celebrated like it used to be it’s a strong recipe for quality time with the fresh air, your loved ones and yourself
Ranger costs no more than an ordinary fishing boat? You gotta be kidding. I was just a kid back then but I remember hearing adults complain about how much more expensive Ranger boats were than others.
Great video, back when fishing didn't cost you an arm and a leg. I've still got much of that old tackle and still use it. I wish they'd bring back pistol grip rods, they always just felt right to me. I have several old Shimano Fightin Rods, and Fenwick Lunkerstiks still in use. Daiwa Magforce wasn't alone back then, the Abu Ultra Mag reels gave them a run for their money too. I was always a big Daiwa fan, but fished more Abu baitcasters back then, but most got put on Daiwa rods.
It's fascinating to see what tackle held up over time. The Ugly Stik is still popular and improving, the Handle-less design Shimano was well ahead of its time, ranger boats are still made one at a time, and the shad rap is still as popular as it is effective. Johnson tackle is all but forgotten, Blue Fox and Beetle Spin have faded away into the trout/panfish market, reels have far less gimmicky knobs and are simpler and better built, and when was the last time you saw a PH meter used frequently on a boat?
I tested 2 "beetle spins" recently; the old 1980s version from my Pop's tackle box and one i bought from wally world. Old school spin runs true and newer China import one.....it belongs in tree. I think what hurt the beetle spin was the knock offs such as Bettle Spin from Betts tackle and box store brand knockoff. My MK Endura is noisier than my Pop's Black n White MK.
I still use beetle spins for bluegills and still use 2 Shimano fightin rods I got when I was a teenager in the 80s. I have older G Loomis IMX rods I still use as well.
This 1985 commercial for Fish Formula shows an animated fish appearing on a blue sky background with white clouds and green water sea. The fish forms Fish Formula Shad. Then an animated lobster appears, forming Fish Formula Crawfish. Next, an animated worm appears, forming Fish Formula Catfish. Another animated fish appears, forming Fish Formula Saltwater. Finally, another animated fish appears, forming Fish Formula Gamefish. The announcer says that the revolutinary Fish Formulas are used by the world's best fishermen, enough said.👍
Shimano Quickfire I have the 1000 & 4000. Mercury I had 2HP now a Johnson 1977 6HP no Zepco add I have 2, 22 its rare and the new 33 Platinum and we still have Kmart in Aus. 🐊

Brings back memories... a tackle box full of beetle spins and rapalas, my dad throwing his Daiwa bait caster and me with my Shimano Quickfire
That's an awesome memory. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! I still have a QuickFire combo my dad bought me in 1983 in Kennedale TX. Take care of it and never failed me. Use is for panfish these days.
That first commercial when he talks about his 5:1 gear ratio being the fastest on the market i spit my drink out 🤣
Try a 9.1 , they wouldve brought back the witch trials lol
@@huknlipzfishing good lord, they'd be like cavemen discovering fire 😂
Thanks a bunch for for the fun of watching this. Get to stop to look into boats and lures and tackle boxes.
My last name is Garrett also lol ... wait... dad?!
23:35 Wait a minute.... this was a thing? A one seater open glider hydro plane made for fishing?! I want one TODAY!!!
I remember seeing all these commercials when I was a kid
These take me back. Interesting to see what's stood the test of time, or not.
Diawa is still shit so not so much. Now Shimano is still the best.
Is the ugly stick still up there? I still have mine from 1986....
You could tow a semi out of a ditch with that Trilene
Excellent video

Aint No telling how many Old lures n stuff i got. Lots of the OLD Bagleys, and the first Strike King crankbaits made out of Jutelong Wood.
Lindner ripping the transom off the boat was hilarious
Whatever happened to pistol grip baitcasters? I still have my Shimano GT fightin' rod. Love it!
You must be old lol ! Still have and use mine, too !
I have a ugly stick pistol grip, there very accurate, but hard on my wrist if I'm catching alot
@@AC-kk3vo you're right, the leverage is definitely not there.
They fell out of style .....
Im 33 and love a pistol grip on my local creeks (these creeks have 9lbers).
Love seeing a young AL Lindner!

I know a lot of people that still believe in a beetle spin here in Florida. We throw them during crappie season a lot.
Magic bait is still around.
Ranger us not what it used to be anymore, now that bass pro owns it. Almost all the pros jumped ship as soon as it was purchased

😆I miss Al liender I had no idea how funny he was
I've got a Dancin Eel in my tackle box. Never caught anything on it. Lol!
Does anybody remember smelling the Manns jelly worms in your daddy’s tackel box
400 world records!!! 😂
This is GREAT

So good for the sole hahaha thank you
It's true that they just don't make things like they used to. Damn, that Trilene line is strong back in the days.
The good days
What an archive...
My sole needed this today

Hey im looking for an infomercial about Magic bait starring Willie Aames and Jerry Reed. Does anyone have it or know where I can find it?
I cant imagine using those short ass rod handles and thinking theres nothing wrong with it
I do it. I love my pistol grip bass rod!
Nothing more awesome than catching a Big Small Mouth Bass on a old school pistol grip Diawa unless it's a fiber glass cherry wood
Just keep fishing..,
Anyone know the guys name in the shimano fighting rods commercial? Can’t find anything.
Roland Martin.
@@MrYoumatic Ok I’ve watched other videos and I figured it out. He just sounded so funny to me for some reason.

Wow, back when bill dance wasn't fat..surprised he did the find a way to fall off a boat in that commercial
Those quickfires were garbage lol
I had one as a kid growing up. I used it for probably 10 years. I loved it.
They show the shimano products after the diawa because diawa is shit.
