Woot woot. I win. And I mixed it up. You look like the biker from The Village people The motorcycle cop was a black dude. Thanks for the give away. Caught me off guard during video. We just got sponsored by Bruiser Baits so I will hook you up when you come visit. And Hand delivery is my preferred method of my Retro Prize. Thanks my friend
Another great video Chris! Enjoy them all. By the way, to answer your question, it was Mr. Twister who made the Sensation. Another bait you need to find by them that was killer is the Slither. Amazing bait on a darthead. Keep up the great work!
That bantam mag plus was my first ever bait caster at age 10 or so. Around 1986/87. Ordered out of bass pro catalog. My dad bought it and put it on top of the refrigerator until I could pay it off. Old school “lay-a-way” if you will. He would let me get it out and look at it but wasn’t able to fish it until I paid him back. Oh the memories. Thank you buddy. P.S. Wouldn’t want to sell that old school gem would ya?
Being very much a senior citizen, I remember fishing most of those lures when they first came out. What memories. These days, I suppose my favorites would be those jigs, both bass and crappie. Oh, my brand new Tracker Classic XL is waiting for the ice to melt for its first launch. I'm squirming with anticipation.
Check the bands on these skirts. When they get old they tend to dry out. And fall apart. Use some thin copper wire to hand tie them so they will stay. .24 gauge from a craft store works.
Wow! That's my kind of unboxing! Loved seeing the old-school Powerbait packaging, the mini spinnerbaits, and terminators. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway too. Would love to see you fish those tornados!
@@RetroBassin Micheal and I fished Norfork a week ago. We caught a few largemouth on crankbaits and Alabama Rigs. It was tough fishing though. Micheal did catch a bass with $100 research tag in it last Sunday during a tournament, so that's pretty cool. I fished for trout on the White River yesterday and caught a few nice brown trout up to 22.5". You been out at all?
My old school combo is a Zebco Omega 33 that I got back in 1977 when I was 13. I've got it on a 6' MH pistol grip Shakespeare USA 98% Graphite rod from 1988. All made in the USA. I love taking it out for some retro fishing. I'm 57 and I'm pretty sure this combo is going to outlast me. 🎣😎
U just cant go wrong with a b.a.s.s. variety pack or the old school power noodle or any spinnerbait!!! Such a great video with sooooo many cool baits how could any 1 pick just 1
cool box i love ur tuborg mug.1 cool lure i found is the producers crankbait that crushes bass.its the Starfire z.a water wiperblade. i got 17 bass in 50 minutes in a sm lake corner by a pipe.they were all under mats of grass ..m yb greatest find was a 6 pk for .25 each..the lures im mog sure if the colir but its like a dark green,blue bass pattern with a whitish silver belly
Maybe you can help me find a lure I’ve been looking for now for close to 3 decades. My uncle bought me a tackle box when I was 5 years old and filled it with random lures from the time period (mid 80’s). I assume most of the lures came from like Sears. Anyway inside was a package of soft plastic frogs. The packaging held about 4 frogs. They were very dense plastic with a single hook that came thru the frog and came up between the legs. No weed guard of any kind. The legs were dual curly tails. The frogs themselves were small, I’d guess 1.5” each. Probably a 1/0 hook in each one. I’d love to get more just for the memories. No clue who made them, maybe Burke? I can’t even find them thru Google, probably could though if I knew the name. Should you have some I’d trade greatly in your favor for some even if it’s just 1. Thanks.
My uncle started Hart tackle company in the early 80s in Oklahoma he sold his part pretty early but it's still crazy to occasionally see Hart baits or hear about it from other people.
Ok, that B.A.S.S. variety pack is low-key the coolest item. I remember them sending me some baits like that when I became a member. They sent like a pack of baits and I think a book by Kevin Van Dam.
I like to hear you reminisce it brings back a lot of good memories and the two hot colors from my childhood were grape and motor oil God I had so many in those colors, now go catch your moose
RetroBassin I’ll save my retro tackle video for your visit! I still own my 1st baitcaster I ever bought! A quantum 310mg an found the matching rod in ebay (broke the og rod sometime in the 90s).
Another great video on a cold New England day to get my fishing fix. Retro have you ever had the chance to fish with a Daiwa Procaster PT10E Microcomputerized Baitcaster? Pretty wild reel from the mid 80’s. On page 53 of the 1986 Bass Pro Shops catalog. I picked one up a few months ago can’t wait to try it out when the weather permits.
I bought two of those shimano bantam mag 250's from bass pro in 1988 and used them for 10 years straight at Clear lake and the California delta here in northern california, great reels !
Loved this video as some of those lures were my favorites growing up. You. Mentioned June big and motor oil colors and those were my go to, just picked up four packs of each from an old school basser, also found my stash of terminator spinnerbait so I'm going to reskirt them soon. My question is what will it take to buy a pack of the power bait noodles from you? Lol I havent found them in forever and they were a great finesse bait. Also I'd love to see a retro bassin episode on what I remember being originally called the virgil wiggle worm, then just the worm, and the company that has them today calls them the icon worm. It's a prerigged worm that you can put a clamp on style weight to get to what depth you need and just fish it slow. I've called it an idiot proof lure for years and even took second in a bass fishing tournament a few years ago when I nothing modern I have was working to catch fish. My wife talked me into throwing it with her and she boated the big fish of the day a 5 and a quarter pounder on those light little hooks lol. Would be a great show during spawn as that's been our best luck with them! As always keep it old school, the wife and I look forward to every episode
I will have to research the Virgil Wiggle Worm, good buddy. I know the original Creme Wiggle Worm, now called the Scoundrel, but maybe the Icon is different?
Yes. The worm I'm speaking of has a bend in the mold so the bait makes a big slow circle when reeled slow. Great little old school bait when you cant catch them on anything else in the summer
If you don't mind sending me a Facebook request I'd like to send you a picture of them. My wife and I have finally found a place to find them in all colors, so I would even send you a couple of our favorite colors
One of my favorite baits of all time was a 6" texas rigged "Mann's jelly worm" grape... like he use to say himself color didn"t matter as long as it was purple !
i still have a bantam 250 i got it as a replacement for my first new school level wind haha a bantam 100, silver with wooded handles lost it in a boat accident after a tournament in 1984 loved that reel.
I was wondering when you were coming out with a new video and there it is. My favorite lure is the Terminator Buzz Bait. To further your thought you should have a B.A.S.S. Master Classic winners Shootout see who wins! Have a great day keep the videos coming
You gotta get some of the old Manns jelly worms the 11inch one and the 9 inch those are def a great bait till this day an caught a 4 day record from Paul Ellias totaling 132lbs 8oz which is freakin insane to even think about an I think someone else also caught like 15 or 16 pounder using the jelly worm as well I just forget the name but def would like to see the old packaging an everything for those plastics an see if it stills smells like strawberry lol.
You should check out Superstrike's channel. th-cam.com/users/zebcoomega He lives a couple hours north of me and has made a bunch of videos fishing with old Abu's and other vintage reels and lures. You'll probably quite enjoy them. Thanks for all these flashbacks to my youth.
Dude your awesome I love your vids your made me start collecting vintage fishing gear my first piece is a pflueger skilkast reel that I found at a hunter/fisherman’s yard sale it’s super cool and I can’t wait to try it out hopefully catch a bass on it 🙏🏽
Damn... !.!.! Why can’t we just go back and freeze time? The golden age man. I’m only 26 and somehow I feel as if I don’t belong in 2021. All I watch is Bassmaster classics from 90’s and back and old tv shows and movies. Idk man things were just so much simpler. Keep it up brother. I Absolutely love your channel man
I love your show today I like those Riverside baits and those tornado spinnerbaits I used to have some of those and I have a question for you do you remember the Ryobi bait casting reels do you have any of those I'm just wondering I like to see them again thanks for the awesome show it bring back a lot of good memories

That box is gold!! I really like the old pack of slug-Go's. Thanks for sharing.
Id love for you to go over what bait won the bassmaster classucs awesome idea
TWO Tornado spinnerbaits ! Are you kidding me , I'm so jealous !
I think those bad boys may have to go back to Marty so he can list them on eBay...dang!
I have a Shimano Bantam Mag that's over 30 years old and still works. Those and the Daiwa Mag Forces were the Baddest reels on the water in the 80's.
Badddest..??...uh...good or bad....im confused
Old school goodness. 👍🏻😎
Dude takes all i got not to start buying retro gear bc of you lmao!! Love video’s dude keep it up! Sharing to every one i know

Those old school spinners baits and the old baitcaster.
hey.. you need to discuss some old lews speed sticks or some original fenwick glass rods
Great show. Awesome friend to share that with you. The power noodles triggered memories for sure.
Tornados all the way!! Got 1 left from early the early 90's. (white skirt). STILL CATCHIN BASS AND KICKIN' ASS!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Those stanley mini wedge spinnerbaits are an amazing find! Great video.
That Shimano Bantam is awesome.. I'd like one to fish with my Shimano Magnumlite.. Those Tornadoes are definitely my favorite..
Another awesome video. Love the cabelas real image spinnerbait. I remember the big spread they had for those.
Your channel is the best on TH-cam, keep it up!

Tuborg Beer. My Dads favorite. My first beer. I miss it so....
We're stayin' at a Holiday Inn full of surgeons, I guess they meet here once a year. They exchange physician stories, and get drunk on Tuborg beer...
I remember those worms with the extra arms were called Wing Worms for some reason. My jaw dropped when you pulled out that old 250, what a closer...
I am still reeling from that, literally and figuratively!
Free lures are always awesome.
Love that reel

Those baby wedges are awesome!!
Got ‘em on the water today!
@@RetroBassin good luck 👍🏽 just seeing that package really brings me back to when I had no grey hair
I made a living fishing worms in June bug and Motor oil! My go to in the 80's! Awesome unboxing!
That motor oil color does tend to run, LOL.
i wish the excalibur lures eere still made.the lipless jimmy Houston lures came in the 2 pack 1/2&1/4 oz 4.99
Best into song on youtube
Hey, Punch. I put full version in there just for you!
I still pour a bunch of motor oil baits, one of my favorites
Love your videos I watch them everyday an every where I'm at keep them coming my friend an keep on fishing 🎣 GODS BEAUTIFUL GROCERY STORE
Great video! Fun bring back memories.
Thanks for stoppin' by, Reel_Nebraska!
Been fishing Stanley spinnerbaits since the early 90's, still fish them today...Great unboxing
Nice still use my Shimano baitcast reel from the 80s. Quantum action erry year.
My uncle started Hart tackle company in the early 80s in Oklahoma he sold his part pretty early but it's still crazy to occasionally see Hart baits or hear about it from other people.
Robert! Hit me up on Insta if FB. I have a collection of vintage Hart baits and would love to learn more!!!
Ok, that B.A.S.S. variety pack is low-key the coolest item. I remember them sending me some baits like that when I became a member. They sent like a pack of baits and I think a book by Kevin Van Dam.
I totally agree, Jonathan. That little bag is packed with old school goodness!!
The Excalibur spinner has off set eye on the blades so they counter rotated. I caught on of my personal best largemouth on that bait.
For a while in bass fishing life, I bought ANYTHING with the Excalibur name on it!
I like to hear you reminisce it brings back a lot of good memories and the two hot colors from my childhood were grape and motor oil God I had so many in those colors, now go catch your moose
Thanks, Carl!
Awesome box! I have that same shimano reel on a shimano pistol grip rod! So yeah get down to Florida and stop by gville on the way south 🎣
I'll have a few goodies to bring with!

I always fished them more like a spinnerbait, but ol' Shoestring said they also double as buzzbaits!
I remember my dad getting those Berkley baits in that same packaging :) nice video
One never forgets the scent of original PowerBait!
@@RetroBassin yeah it definitely took me back to my first tournament with him. :) thanks for your reply
Stanley Mitchell used a Bomber Model A and a Luhr Jensen Crocodile spoon to win the '81 Bassmaster Classic. For some reason I will never forget that.
The Crocodile...forgot about that one!
One of my favorite baits of all time was a 6" texas rigged "Mann's jelly worm" grape... like he use to say himself color didn"t matter as long as it was purple !
Having to catch up what a cool box of goodies I need the reel js
