Matter of fact I'm going wading tomorrow from my fishing jet ski. Going to throw that Paul Brown rusty fat boy with the silver and black side and belly.

No , I'm not familiar with Rubberbacks. I started fishing in 1999, so I don't go way back . But then , maybe they are not that old .

Not that old. They looked almost exactly like a jointed fat boy. They were the big thing while they were out.

The names familiar .

I've got original Paul Browns in the bag and opened used ... Maybe 25. Most of those are discolored at the nose from metal oxidation , faded colors . They still would catch fish . I have 3 in the bag of corky Morning Glory , Black with red sparkle that will be in my wade box . I'm 65 in September with arthritis , bad back , bad knee and could cardio any moment . So, use them while I can . I don't buy green bananas .

That's cool plugger. I've looked everywhere for some mint original corkeys but haven't seen any. Anywhere.

As requested heres a few of my recent paint jobs. except the bomber square bill and the rapala minnow. I sanded down a bunch of old lures that I'm getting ready modify and paint.
I'm thinking i
I'll drill out the wood glue on the old poes rc3 shad and put a lead knocker in it heavy enough to make it countdown and I'm doing the basic mouth mods to the rebel popr and windcheater too.
I'll upload the finished product pics later on.

I also buy some "knock offs" that start out as just clear blanks, I like some of the higher quality blanks but I've found it really hard to find quality crank bait copies which is why I started sanding some of them down and experimenting with the their actions.

Nicely done , Brandon ! Looks professional . Sweet .
I got lucky with some original corkys in unusual good colors that Mirrolure doesn't produce . Do you want an original Corky just as a keepsake ? Like I said I have 2 or 3 morning glory ones . I'll give you one , Brandon if you want one .

[SaltyBass]

Heck yeah I do! It will go nicely with my little Georges on the original rebel flag cards and other discontinued stuff.

When I have time I'll go through my hoard . Most of my originals had been out of the bag , faded , and oxidized nose . Nothing I would fish normally . Probably 15 loose ones . I'll take pictures . I'll see what unopened ones I have and be willing to part with .
