Great tip for the Tiny Torpedo I've not tried on my go to Smallmouth Bass topwater Bait. "Add a split ring to the belly hook. Otherwise, a jumping, gyrating fish can use the hook hanger to twist off."

Trying to determine timeline of Rapalas manufacturing, I have Finland, Ireland marked and non-country specified in my collection.

Jeffrey thanks for the account! The first reel I recall my  father showing me how to cast with was a Johnson Spin caster . I think he put a Heddon Sonic on the line for me. The first lure he gave me for a birthday present was a Creme prop spinner tandem rig in natural color. A copy of the Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper was included in the present .

I hope so Bruce. I'd like to know your favorites that kept you in Fish through the Years. The classic demand respect!

I gotta take some photos of my lures, but all I have is an old cell phone. I'll see if I can make it work.
