These 30 - 90 Year Old Lures are Still Panfish Slayers! (Part 1)

Using lures that were first introduced in the 1930's - the 1980's. With all the newly developed lures that are available today, many of these older lures just don't get thrown anymore. Today I'll take a look at the Rebel Crickhopper, first introduced in 1989. Although many panfish anglers have forgotten this lure, it still catches fish in multiple ways! The second lure I'll use today is the smallest size of the original Rapala Floating Minnow. The inventor of this lure, Lauri Rapala, first threw his cork and tinfoil prototype on a Finnish lake in 1936. #god #jesus #fishing #ultralightfishing #bankfishing #creeklifelureco #varivas #shimano #daiwa #lewsfishing #gamakatsu #rebel #rapala 🎣🎣🎣🎣 -- FISHING GEAR -- 🎣🎣🎣🎣 5' 6" All Star Graphite Ultralight rod (Circa 1996) Daiwa Regal 1000 reel Vicious 4 lb.
