Was going through an old tackle box of my dads and came across some old Dalton Specials and a few other lures. They are not worth a lot (except to me). So I thought some of you might like to have a look.
Hey TD check out the home made spoon. Wish I had that when I was at Lake Powell.

Road,
Way cool lures. Look like they have very little use. It's always awesome to see old lures. I have a handful of them myself. The lures that made fish lake famous. Which are old Heddin Bass plugs. Thanks for sharing. Pikeman

Marty, thanks for sharing. My father-in-law gave me an old lure that I really treaure. I wouldn't even consider fishing with it. I'm certain it would catch plenty of fish, but I couldn't risk the chance of losing it.

i have one of those same daltons in my box ( # 3 ) i have had that lure so long i can't even remember when or how i came by it
I also have a candybar iron jig from my sportboat days about 20 years ago made by a company called schnabel i remember i took it out one day to use it and almost got in a fist fight with a passenger who accused me of stealing his rare lure we were both surprized to see 2 together on the same boat or anyplace for that matter
if i remember right this lure should be over 40 years old now

Hi Marty, Very nice old lures. After my father-in-law passed away I got all his old lures, tons, then I lost them in our garage fire in 2002. It was a very nice collection...up in smoke!

Hi Pikeman the ones I posted are new and still in the box. Well the Dalton Specials and the flatfish. The spoons have had a lot of use judging from their condition. I guess I should have posted the rubber minnow also. I can't believe that any fish EVER hit that lure [
]. Plan on swimming it some place this week. Looking for *clear* water so I can see it. Hmmmmm maybe the bath tub.

Kent, your welcome glad I figured out my daughters digital camera. Wasn't planning on fishing those lures. There are some others that have been well used. I was thinking of giving them a toss when it warms up a bit. The Dalton's are top water and come with instructins on how to fish them. And my son made fun of me for saving the Rapala boxs & instructions. I guess I know where I got that from LOL.

Hey Aqua take a pic of that candy bar jig and post it if you can. I would like to see that one.

Hi Sandy you just changed my image of the last 30 years of Up in Smoke. Sorry to hear of your fire, I trust no one was hurt? Hey do you chase the big brooks in your neighborhood?

Hi Marty, sorry I haven't got back to you sooner, very busy day, just now got online. LOL...Up in Smoke. No one got hurt in our fire. It was an over sized four car garage, lost everything...car, truck, a one-year old Boston Whaler boat, an ATV, $18,000+ in tools and misc items, and oh yes, all my fishing gear.[
]
As far as big brooks, where are they? I mostly fish, Steinaker, Red Fleet, Pelican (buggie darn place), and a few other small lakes in the Vernal area. I do mostly bass fishing, but have been trout fishing and waiting for the bass fishing to heat up. I caught a 7-pound brown at Red Fleet a couple years ago...was trolling a jointed Rapo (Rapala) along the shoreline fishing for bass. Do you fish from a boat, or are you a tuber? I now have a 15-foot Gregor with 25 horses under the hood, good fishing boat. Keep in touch, maybe we can get together for fishing and telling tall tales.[

[#505000]It's amazing looking at some of those compared to what they have now. I wonder if someday my kids will be posting pictures of some of my stuff!! [cool][/#505000]

Hey Last year I bought a jitter bug that looks real close to that old one. Different color but the same body. FB2 used it at Pelican along with a popper of some sort. So even though they have changed a lot, some haven't changed much at all. I think the new holographic paints are the biggest improvements today.......... Well maybe not now that I think about it LOL.
