My Grandpa was the first person to ever take me fishing. He started my love for the sport. He sadly passed a few years ago. But my Grandma recently sold their home, and found some old little WildEye Swim Shad (Little 2" soft plastic single hook lures) and sent them to me. This weekend is going to be my first chance to use them. I am really hoping I can catch something with them, to honor my Grandpa.
Lunker City still make Slug-Go lures I order $150 worth every year I've been fishing with em since around 92 or 93 I'm old so my memory escapes me a tad bit but I had to be around 16......but yeah they still make em ....I actually prefer the action of the Slug-Go to the fluke I get better skips and flips outta the water with the slug-go
I’m fortunate to still have both my grandparents and I’m 31 years old. This is a good idea. I’ll have to get the old man to leave me his tackle on the will...I’d love to do something like this as a tribute for him and catch fish on his old tackle.
I'm nearly 50 and my Dad used those big black eels when I was a kid. I even caught my first bass on a black with white spots. Haven't seen one in years
Videos like these make me feel so old especially when you call a '95 rattletrap an antique. And blue and yellow skirts used to be pretty popular or at least commonly found around the early 2000s and Luhr Jensen was sold at most tackle shops and if I'm not mistaken I believe Rapala bought them or something like that.
Now I know how it feels to be old. Lol just to hear you say antiques and the year 1995 In the same sentence. It wasn't that long ago for me but someone your age it was a life time. Lol. Good to see your excitement for these lures.
Thank you for the video. This video has brought back so many memories that I have with my grandpa fishing. He had a lot of the same lures and a very similar tackle box. I can remember as a kid fighting the plastic boxes to get my lures and hooks out. They went away with those in the late 90s and went to what our lures come in today.
Woooow my grandfather passed down his tacklebox to me and its very similar, same handle but the ring clasps are at the top and it opens up in half with 2 3-stacked shelves on either side with a lot of space underneath, doesn't fit spinner baits but will fit most long lures like rapala jerkbaits, it came with a jitter bug! Was so much fun to fish with it but now its in storage as a keepsake. The paint is still in good shape too!
My dad's been gone for almost 7 years now I really wish you was here we had some good times fishing I realize he's still here with me now fishing with me on the bank at night and during the day
nice. thanks for posting. I like his reaction to the Jitterbug. my older sister Dianna had the best Jitterbug in our family. it was yellow with a red mouth and had yellow tassels.
the big one with the side hooks is a Jitterbug XL - you can buy it today that brokeback Jitterbug is what I caught my PB crappie on while night fishing they are awesome lures indeed - my favorite too before the "plopper" style became popular
You need to pick out your oldest and cool "grandad" tackle. Build a shadow box and hang on wall with a picture of him as keepsake your kids and grandkids. It will be a big family history piece generations down to line!
That's cool, a NEIGHBOR husband passed and she gave me 3 takel boxes with old lures it's awesome to see how far we have came with lure development. I am going to try some out.
To get the real feel of old fishing lures, use a spinning rod fished upside down and reeled backwards. Or get a pistol grip bait-caster and do a He-man of GreySkull hook set!
The “slug” you found is called a Slug-Go worm, and it was extremely popular from the late 70’s and on, some pros still fish them. They’re quite unique, because you can fish them on the surface and walk the dog with them, or fish them like a senko, wacky rigged. My dad won several tournaments using that worm exclusively.
I never really wanted to fish with frogs, but my dad dug an oId one he bought like 24 years ago. Gave me a crash course on how to use it. Then I caught a decent pond bass on the first cast. Instantly realized I still have a lot to learn and that old tackle and still be great tackle.
That verticle jig is called a Sting Silver and it's primarily used for salt water fish like gray and speckled trout. We used to use those with white/yellow spec rigs for catching trout and flounder. we used the Sting Silver for the weight. We used Mitchell 300 reels on Abu Garcia 6 ft rods for salt water fishing.
My tackle box once belonged to my grandpa, I’ve had it since he passed almost 20 years ago. There’s lures in it that you can’t even get anymore.. I fish with them regularly.
that's crazy because my grandpa's son passed a while back and we got his stuff and we got some old bait casters and old rod and reels and some other lures ,in my opinion older lures are pretty cool
I'm 60 years old and have some of my grandfather's lures in my tackle boxes. My favorite of his is called a lucky 13 I've had to restring the hooks a few times but other than the string it's all original. There are too many lures to write about here.
Grandpa clearly knew what he was doing because i have all of those lures and theyre the most productive ones in my tackle box except for the arbogast jitterbug ive never caught one fish on one of those things
Dude I saw the title and was super happy, favorite kind of fishing videos is when we find our grandparents fishing gear and use it, but you pulled out a rattle trap that was seriously the first lure I pulled out of my tackle box I got. Same lure. Same package! I havnt caught a fish on it yet, but the lure looks so juicy
I still have a bunch of old spinners like that from a tackle box my dad put together for me when I was a kid in the mid 90's. Some of them are still in the package.
I'm a grandpa and that looks like my tackle box write down to the blue and yellow skirt spinnerbait and the jitterbugs and I'm still catching fish on them. Keep that drag a singing guys
Some of those lures take me back bro. The trap you were using is still my fav. It’s called chrome Shad and it’s still one of the best. That red worm thing is and was one of my favorite soft plastics years ago called a slugo. I always fished them like a trick worm or drop shot. One of the real treasures in that closet was not mentioned and is actually a very expensive fly reel that retains value. The box is on the left behind some random items. The box is marked with a “T” with an oval around it. The brand is Tibor. Those reels are mainly for salt and typically go for 600.00 give or take the size. Keep that reel. It’s one the best!
I grew up fishing the early-mid 80's. And had that silver and blue original bill Lewis trap. The jerk baits look like husky jerks and that old bag of culprit worms. They had a color motor oil fleck that was killer. First on caught 4.9lbs 1986.
Was decent but would have loved a longer video using all of them. And at a bigger big betty/slaunch spot. Really wanted to see what came out of Grandpa's lake!
That foit long ell is a freash water lure for big bass. The jitterbug with three sets of treble hooks you might want to have appraised could be worth a lot.
Listening to you talk about these old lures.....looks like you’re digging through my tackle box. 😂 I still fish with a lot of these today. Old lures are more like Fliptail worms. I’m trying to find some and duplicate them but no luck so far.
it’s actually so funny that this video got recommended about 3 days after i found MY grandpas old tacklebox and he actually died like twenty years ago and some of the stuff in that tacklebox was from the 50s
Can’t wait to fish with the rods and reels. Thanks grandpa for letting me steal your lures for the day, promise I will give them back 😂
Me to
You should of used some other lures 😕
That would be kit

Is your grandpa deceased
My guy has a fishing lure from 1995. I can’t even keep one for like 2 weeks without being snagged 😂

Yup i feel so Old!
I scrolled down to type the same thing, beat me to it! Ain't none of us gettin younger👴😅
I was gonna comment the same thing. When did stuff from 1995 become antique??😭

I’m so sorry for your loss. Enjoy the memories and honor him.
I’m sure he’s so proud of the fisherman you’ve become
SLUGO’s were the precursor to the Flukes!!! Great action, great lures. Enjoy those treasures and don’t lose any, they don’t make them anymore.👍🏽

Slug-Go to the fluke I get better skips and flips outta the water with the slug-go
I was about to say I still buy slug o
I’m wrong, we don’t have any near my NY home. Granted I’ve been wrong before and thanks for the slugo update
@@skittles7001 order line Amazon has them
Salvant Breaux I’m old and forget about Amazon. Thank you for the reminder or my senile old self.
Damn, hearing you call a "1995 rattle trap" an "antique" was hard to hear LOL
Right
I still fish with Traps just like them from 92 I bet lol
I know right; hit me in the soul.
Well its an antique compared to how long ppl tend to keep their lures I guess
The Slug is a Lunkers City Slug-Go a very popular lure. The Uncle Josh Pork Frog jar is worth it weight in gold!!!
I used to have the black ones as a kid
Could you imagine him seeing a slap stick or a skip jack
Slug-Go was also the inspiration behind the senko. Theres an article or 2 about it
Young men, tell your grandpa's you love 'em as often as you can.
Absolute TRUTH!! I miss my grandparents so much.
Yes i wish i did befor i lost one
I miss mine everyday. He was a fisherman but we never went fishing. I spent as much time as I could with him.
I wish i had just one mor efishing trip with my grandpa but he passed away so cant reall do that
Stfu
Bro this is so dope and those lures were so cool! I recently fished with my grandpas tackle and it was so crazy how good they worked! 🔥🙌🏼
A-Dub Fishing I swear the lures they made back in the day are 🔥
You can't beat old school lures.

Dude! We still say dude, dude!!
Fishing with memories is absolutely awesome. So glad you had fun🐟😊
🔥🔥 you should do a rattle trap 1v1 the old rattle trap vs the new rattle trap that be something to see 🤙🏼 great video norm
When the beat was in sync with the fist bump😁🔥 so cool!
This is why grandpa's are the best❤
It's cool to see you excited about fishing Lures...
Bro you have the best fishing channel on the tube because you have such a great and genuine personality. 👍

Lure Jensen makes roster tail. The big jitter bug is muskie fishing.

That’s so crazy you sound just like your dad
no it's actually Mike Dawson from the Adam Carolla Podcast
That's great that your grandpa's lures still work if they worked back then they definitely worked now !! 👍🏼🎣
I really miss my dad fishing with him

that brokeback Jitterbug is what I caught my PB crappie on while night fishing
they are awesome lures indeed - my favorite too before the "plopper" style became popular
I used them in the 60s I may still have one or two left! This is one of the best videos ever. Thanks for sharing!

My grandfather had the exact same tackle box. Great way to remember the pasted.
Thats so awesome some legendary tackle box from your grandpa. Thats so cool
First tackle box looks like a Plano phantom. There's awesome you were able to reminisce on all those memories.
