[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 262072, member: 3373"] 50+ years ago when I first started fishing, tackle boxes were much smaller. Assorted DareDevles in a variety of sizes and colors, a couple lazy Ikes was about all you needed. If you were in the upper class (16ft boat w/25hp instead of 14ft w/10hp), you might have also had a couple Flatfish. The only time you knew the depth was when you dropped an anchor. Pretty much trolled the shoreline and if you caught a fish you made a few more passes along that shore. Didn't worry about draining the live well when leaving the lake, used a stringer. Don't remember catching many walleyes on DareDevles. First experience with a crank bait was when I bought a Rebel. Caught a lot of fish with that lure and when it was lost I bought another as soon as i could. Now I have more than a hundred minnow imitation types of lures. Most have never been in the water. Suppose when I'm gone my wife will sell them in a rummage sale. [/QUOTE]
