As I go through my garage this winter, ostensibly to reorganize my tackle, but more likely to drown myself in nostalgia, I plan to document some of the items I find. Some will make it back into the boat for the first time in decade, while others may end up donated or trashed. It may be tough to know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em.
Because Florida is one of the few places where the bass are chewing regularly this time of year, we’ll start with Gambler Lures. I was surprised that I’d forgotten some of these classics and semi-classics.
