I certainly remeber the salamander with red gills. I bought 'em and never caught anything on 'em. What about the Mister Twister soft plastic lure line and was scented like bananas. Anyone remember that from the 80's? I never bought any, thought it was a joke... it was.

I don't understand someone not liking the Fat Free Shad. I have had many days when that was my best fish catcher (several colors have worked for me). Had a 5 and a 6.12 on the same day in late March a few years back with the citrus color... As for Banjo Minnow, I've never fished one. However, when I was in Mexico last July I talked to a guy who was throwing one. I saw it rigged up on his rod. It was about 8" long and he said he caught 3 over 10 on it that day.

What about the orange, see through, Rebel Black Star. This crank is the lure I wish I'd never bought.
