The world's greatest YARD SALE loaded with $2 bass fishing lures!!!

I found the world's greatest YARD SALE loaded with $2 fishing lures! This place was insane! Cecil's Bait Shop in Bastrop, Texas, is an absolute gem and it's loaded with table and tables and sheds and sheds of vintage and discontinued rods, reels, and lures! During our trip there, we scored a ton of great lures for largemouth bass including vintage lures from Storm, Rapala, Bagley, Poe's, Bill Lewis, Cotton Cordell, Rebel, Heddon, Fred Arbgobast, Rogers Lures, Bill Norman, Bomber Lures, Mann's, Tom Mann's Fish World, and so many more! This ain't a quick stop, but if you are ever in the Bastrop, Texas, area swing by Cecil's, ring the bell, and have yourself one heck of a lure hunting expedition!

I thought this was your backyard 😂. I’m going to our annual fishing flea market this weekend. I’m super excited!

[@marcrobinson5498]

You certainly stumbled on to a gold mine with this one. The silver worn big lip stickbait in the beginning was a big Mac. The orange Mann's about a quarter of the way through was a razor back and the bigger bandits towards the end are Rackets.... they're a fairly new bait. You did a really good job on this one. You could have ended up with a 4-5 hour video. Man it's hard to keep it short with so much to go through. Keep these videos coming they're a welcome switch from the normal KZbin stuff

[@RetroBassin]

Thanks good buddy! I also picked up half a dozen vintage rods, but we’ll have to save that for a future episode…the old school gold was too deep!

This video was awesome! So, you found a Bill Dance SK Grass frog in bubblegum color. I was given one that is green. During retrieval it comes in belly up/color side down. Until this video I didn't know the name of my lure to research it. Still can't find any info now. Is upside down retrieval by design? Or is there something missing? The hook is fixed and seems upside down to how it retrieves. Just wondering if you might know more.
