CWitek Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 My first lure-caught bass was on a 3/8 oz, blue and white Atom Striper Swiper. Before that, it was all trolling sandworms.

petespeak Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Striper Swiper! Back in 1970 you only needed two lures: Blue and white Striper Swiper by Atom for bass and a 3 inch Hopkins for blues...never had a tackle bag until I stopped catching fish during the late 70'S striper drought and figured a hundred bucks of the latest and greatest striper killers would solve the trick. As fish catching diminished, my tackle bag grew into a ten pound black hole that sucks all my disposable income into dark space.

EliasA Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 This very plug, a 3.5” creek chub striper strike in blue flash. I caught it on the back side of middle ledge in woods hole, it was 22” and the prettiest fish I’d ever seen, and the start of a serious problem valentine, LockedDrag, S Hook and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 (edited) Ha! Same first Striper lure for me, EliasA. Blue Creek Chub Striper Strike. It was 1972. That ignited my passion for surface lures in shallow water. I still believe that there’s nothing better in fishing than watching a plug get slammed as you work it on the surface.

I definitely didn’t get over that fish blowup. It’s 10 years later and now I have a real problem lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
