    Red behind gold. Yellow or white behind silver. Great surf bait and consistent fish finder. I treasure your opinions on lures, plugger. Your just a little kennel blind on corky's.

    Classic , Harvey . A gold 1/4 ounce Johnson Sprite is a lure that can catch any fish in the bay in my opinion . I prefer 1/4 OZ . Because of its lighter fluttering , slow sink . 1/2 OZ. With deeper water , faster current . Remember when we fished , at the end of the day , you were missing fish on plastic . I told you to put on a gold spoon . Bam , your 1/2 oz. Spoon landed your best trout of the day .

    There is a guy at the end of my road that sells a lot of these types of classic style lures. However he's rarely there except weekends in summer. If I see him and he has some ill pick up 4 or 5 for you.

    When you go to the website click on PHOTOS . Click on the picture in the upper left hand cornor . There I saw the brokenbacks . He use to have more colors than pictured there . I didn't see "peanuts" . I hope Paul is still making them . 3 years ago my crew of 8 guys stayed at his rental next to his house . We got to see his inventory and I pawed through it all and bought about $120 of peanuts . Ordered brokenbacks when they came out . It won't last forever unless one of his sons take over . But , it's not made by the legend , Paul Brown .

    Some brokenbacks

    You can buy a better product from Paul Brown himself . Paul lives next door to Capt. Bruce Baugh who retails Paul 's lures on line . See www. Tidelinecharters .com where you can buy corky brokenbacks . He sells " peanuts " , a small football shaped corky which are killer in spring time matching small bait . I went online and didn't see the peanuts but maybe that's because I'm on the iPhone . Paul has to be in his 80's and if you want a real Paul Brown original , you should consider ordering if you are a collector or just want good plugs .

    Brandon , the 52 are for boat fishing , tie on the top of the head so it would run level . Back in the day , texas waders ... No one waded but Texans ...would take out the screw head tie on and put it in the nose so it wouldn't dive for shallow wade fishing . Finally , Mirrolure caught on and started making them with the nose tie on . The 51 Mirrolure was born .
