Information

I know this sounds strange, but vintage equipment like fiberglass rods still have a place! We can talk shop and discuss why some vintage gear is just as good (if not better) than the new stuff.

Comment by dick tabbert on August 6, 2012 at 5:56am: They are John, Bagley started the crankbait craze and to be hones't I don't know if they still make baits anymore let alone out of balsa wood.

Comment by dick tabbert on August 6, 2012 at 5:53am: John good looking stuff. You know I have many crank baits but back when I really concentrated on Bass my go to bait were spinner baits. My most productive colors were chartreuse and sometime white. I liked a willow leaf blade in copper which you can't seem to find anymore in a spinner bait. But that was then and this is now, now my baits are smaller and I'm still trying to learn there is so much to learn with new stuff all the time.

This was a bass catching crank, loved the steel lip.

Chart Super George

This is a crank that won a the bass tournament on Wolf Lake in Jackson County Mi I think in 1976 and it is a blue Super George.
