It is not hard to post pics for photobucket. First you need to resize it by clicking on the button "resize". A menu will open up and ask what size you want to go to. In one of the choices you will see "Message board 640x480".

Click on that and another message will come up saying you are about to change the size. Say, yes and the pic will resize.

Next, look below the pic and you should see "IMG Code" with a little window to the right of that. Copy and paste everything in that little window over to your post here in ETF.

Then when you click submit post, the pic should be there.

I took the liberty of posting your lures Snoot. I hope you don't mind. This particular pic was already resized to a smaller size than is required. But it still looks good.

That Rebel bait at the 7 o clock location in the picture is that old Brown Crawfish Rebel use to make and I have about 5 of them and they have been responsible for way to many big 3 plus lb. smallies than I would like to remember. They will kill that bait about an hour below sundown on flats in 10 foot water near deeper water drops like river channels. They love it on Priest lake for sure...... etnfishing/character0053.gif

old guys

we are just that much wiser than some

trying to see if it works J

, maybe it worked too good, too big maybe

7 O clock Brown Crawfish, 11 O clock Baby Bass, 12 O clock Texas Craw 3 Oclock Red Shad, and 6 O clock Holy Golly I didn't know anyone still had one of those laying around. That is a Rebel Baby Smallmouth and they were only made 1 or 2 years back in the late 80's I have only seen one or two of those in my life and my buddy has one hanging in his antique fishing cabinet because of the rarity of the bait..... etnfishing/worthy.gif

Well snoot, all except the Baby Smallmouth is still available, but they don't have the same action and sound as the old ones and the colors are changed slightly so they don't produce as well. They have gone to a lighter plastic material in an attempt to make more profit and less quality but I would still rather have and use the new Rebels than I had the Bandit Lures. They can't keep paint on their baits. etnfishing/character0053.gif

Same here Snoot. I lost my dad when I was 16 and quit fish'n for a long time. It just didn't feel right because I lost my fish'n buddy. Fortunately a ggod friend got me back into fish'n about 10 years ago and been ate up with it since. But I love the stories like Jeff and his dad. This post about old baits he use to love to fish.
