Description

📘 THE BOOK: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camping & Fishing Manual" (120 camp and fishing tricks) 📗 ALSO: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camp Cooking Manual" (60 tricks for cooking with no kitchen) Get one, or both in a bundle: https://waltscampingsecrets.com I've fished Michigan lakes for sixty years, and in this video I count down 15 baits: the 5 that were sold to America on late-night television, and the 10 that earned their place on the water and never needed a commercial. In this video: The Helicopter Lure, the Mighty Bite, the LaserLure, the Banjo Minnow and the Flying Lure, and what each one actually did on the water How to fish the classics right: walking a Zara Spook, counting down a Rat-L-Trap, working a Johnson Silver Minnow over the slop The Dardevle, the Jitterbug, the Mepps Aglia, the River Runt, the Rooster Tail and the Creme plastic worm, and where each one came from Why the Original Floating Rapala rented for more than it sold for in 1962 Not one of the ten best was invented by a marketing department. They were built by a machinist in a basement, a shopkeeper in Antigo, a bomber pilot with a station wagon, and a Finn watching a hurt minnow. As always: check your state's fishing regulations before you fish anything with a battery in it, they differ everywhere, and Maine bans electronic and battery-powered devices outright. Which one did you actually buy off that television? Tell me below, I read every comment.
