Discontinued Lures Part 2! Get Them While You Can!

[@patnoll175]

Feel like Bill lewis might discontinuing the SB-57 and Echo 1.75 since were purchased by GSM outdoors and came out with a new squarebill line. It's a hunch but i've been loading up when a good sale occurs. I love the SB-57, comes through anything, built tough, and catches fish.

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesting!

[@Twangtown7]

The Yum Bad Mamma was discontinued last year. Not sure why...it was quite popular. Great punching bait. Very durable. And quite cheap as well. Really bummed me out.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@nicknewmannewman4010]

I will check my local tackle shops and see if they have any of these if I find some of those baits I would be glad to send them to you

[@MattStefanFishing]

good luck searching!

[@kbone87]

I love hitting up old mom n pop tackle places. i found a store near me with a bunch of the original terminator titanium spinnerbaits and some strike king king shad. good stuff

[@MattStefanFishing]

nice finds!

[@chundle09]

Man I literally got a small order of the flick shake worms but i of course got like dark colors. I love the pink worm so much I have so many others I didn’t even think I needed another version of pink. But as you know that pink worm can be the best thing on the lake

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@johnrayner5599]

I love this type of video, great job and please keep them coming, and I will keep my eye open for these baits.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks! Will do!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Great video I've got a bait color that's been discontinued on a zoom lizard, it's sad when that happens, that pink worm looks great that's ashame as well, that boot tail worm by berkley I've never used it but I believe senko makes them & also yum baits, talking about bass fishing declassified I'm subscribed, I really like that they got someone involved in my neck of woods, what works for ppl in north may not work down here in the south!

[@MattStefanFishing]

the berkley worm is much larger than a swimming senko

[@manicmetal157]

Maxscent critter hawg sapphire blue. Slayed them in lacrosse a few times 😫

[@MattStefanFishing]

nice!

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Matt. Question: i see on some baits a”+1” or “+2” at the end of the spec. Forexample : megaabass vision 110 +1. What does the end value mean? Thank you

[@stevencochran4274]

+ 1 runs a little deeper + 2 runs a lot deeper depth will b listed somewhere

[@MattStefanFishing]

diving depth

[@mmatalk3817]

😊 How about going inside? using a better camera angle?So we can actually see what the bates are.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@MCigarz]

Luhr Jensen Hot Lips, all 3 sizes. They are going for $15-$50 now. I realy love Rapala's Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap. Shad color please. Glad I stocked up when you still find them for $10.

[@MattStefanFishing]

hot lips have a hard core following!

[@peterhing3608]

Great Video again Matt as I checked back to see I missed watching this one. On one of your followers in agreement is the Berkley Cutter. I bought 2 of the 110 and 2 of the 90 and caught the longest widest smallmouth on Canadian Thanksgiving Monday at our favourite lake with the 110. She was only 2.5 pounds but way longer than my son's PB this summer that was 4.5 pounds! It is a bit lighter in weight than my other jerkbaits, but the colour I picked up is killer on clear water and sunny days! Glad I found them when I did. HAHA Great video and keep them coming!

[@MattStefanFishing]

those cutters are good baits!

[@philcolbert9767]

Great video. I would love to find the Smithwick Devils Toothpick. Very good on schooling fish but very subtle too. No rattles so it’s great in cleaner water. They’re still out there on EBay. Just not the color I’d like. I can’t tell you the color because your peeps will buy them if they could find them. All good fishermen share tips, right? The color rhymes with “Rome” with a black back. Lol. Terrific bait. Thanks for your videos.

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check them out. i havent heard of it!

[@RG-bf9if]

Dear Matt, the Flick shake IS distributed by Illex Brand in Europe. They have a deal with jackall to sell their products. ( Lures ans rods 😉).

[@MattStefanFishing]

THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@davidcrump2348]

I used to get snake baits the head is weighted some but floats and the worm has colors and designs look good like a real snake. The flying lure it a tube baits that as it falls it also goes away from you. Strike king Tennessee Diamond blade spinnerbait 1/4 oz, 1/4 oz spinnerbaits as a whole, berkley balsa wood crankbaits, smithwick rattling rogues, berkley bang-o-lure, devils horses, just a basic curly tail worm black, black blue tail, black fire tail, electric grape fire tail, grape fire tail, grape pearl white tail, tequila sunrise, motor oil, motor oil with glitter, culprit worms in 4” blue blood and 7 1/2” Bloody Mary. I also miss the regular pumpkinseed color and watermelon color.

[@MattStefanFishing]

those sound neat!

[@patrickroy5107]

Matt, I have bought discontinued colors from companies when I contacted them and ask to make them. Just soft plastics and I had to order 500 or 1000 of them. Good luck!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@MrTxawjcoj]

Love Jackall lures... One discontinued lure I've had plenty of success with is the Jackall Aska SR. Something about that circuit board lip and the patterns it was available in. Then those flick shake worms are so clutch when you just need a bite.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@petehayduk8051]

Such like the likes of Booyah's clones, and Chinese discontinued products or Bassmaster's. They will continue to shine. Forever their place will stand in history.

[@MattStefanFishing]

as long as anglers are searching for them!

[@shawnhammack5302]

Cc shad is my favorite cold water crankbait. It was discontinued this year. Not sure why its special but it out produces any other crankbait I have in water say from 47-57. The drawback to it is it doesn't cast well and I think that's why it wasn't popular. It has hi pitch rattle. I have a lifetime supply and then some lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@everttebenn4925]

Matt look at some plastic makers and save one bait and they can make them for you. As always tight lines.and God bless

Some I use are the Storm Sub Wart, Rapala DT Thug and Bomber Fat A 4F. Shhhh!

I bought up all of the Berkley Power Bait 4" Bungee Worms in blue fleck that I could find. I have less than 1 bag left. It was the best bait that I ever used for a drop shot. I haven't found anything close to it, and believe me, I have looked.

[@MattStefanFishing]

they didnt make the bungee worms for very long

[@johndrx165]

I still have a couple open bags. Just found them and need to get them in rotation.

[@MudgettsGuideService]

Not exactly recent, but the Terminator Short Armed Thumper was one of those I bought on sale only to realize it was being cleared out and they were gone by the time I found out how good they were!

that was a good one! havent seen that in a long time!

Jackall is sooo notorious for discontinuing fantastic baits. I think it has to do with limited production volume and difficulty of production for some baits as well.

Love these Tackle Junky videos! I have a feeling some of the Berkley hard baits that just got discontinued are going to be sought after in the future. I stockpiled about 20 of the Cutter 90s. Very underrated jerkbait.

Thanks Matt. I have a pink worm that's not discontinued but always out of stock I feel that passion for (zoom t3 trick worm mouning dawn). Lucky craft classical leader Sr and Dr are being discontinued and some colors are impossible to find. Storm subwart is a shallow crank not around anymore but my buddy has one and he better not leave his box open. Good luck with your quest.

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Lucky craft just came back with the cbbds 1 at 6 bucks more than they use to cost. I guess the destitute owners of Lucky craft need that money more than me.

Hi Matt, if you're looking for the Jackall Flick Shake 2"8 you should consider some JP webshop, I don't know exactly what color you're looking for since sometimes names change from JP to US, but I found what in JP it is probably called "Killer Pink"

Anyone out there ever try the Live Target 0-1ft craw cranks? They are killer baits on shallow weedy bodies of water like the Potomac. Wish they would re-release those someday! Live Target has a tendency to move on quickly if something doesn't win Best of Show (and if it does, they over market the crap out of it). Until then, eBay is my best friend!

[@MattStefanFishing]

ill check them out

[@dan5danPT]

Definitely check out the 1/2 oz model (it is the size of a Mann’s mid 1- but has this amazing tight wiggle). You may have to hit up a pro who has been with Live Target for a while to actually find one tho. They don’t come up on eBay very often and when they do I buy them immediately 😀 There are particular colors that seem to dominate at certain times around here, but unfortunately you don’t get to choose what color gets listed on eBay. Luckily I found a great painter in my area who can color match super close and even does all the detail work to fill in the lines. Hope you can get your hands on some!

I had won 6 out of 8 tournaments the first year. And 6 out of 10 tournaments the second year. I only owned 2 poles and threw that Scatter Shad on both poles weightless.

From one tackle junkie to another - if you like those pre-Rapala storm wiggle warts, get your hands on some Cotton Cordell Wiggle Os. They had a brief run in the early 2000s, but they mimic those old wiggle warts so well. And you can pick them on on EBay pretty reasonably. Also, the Havoc Pitt Boss. Unless you're lucky enough to have an Ollie's by you, these can be hard to get. Fortunately, I think I have enough packs in enough colors to last me a while!
