I keep my boat and most my tackle at my place in Florida but I still have a ton of crap around the house. I was going through one of my old tackle boxes and just pulled out a few lures thought might bring a memory back to some. 12E1523E-63DF-42D5-8B58-4D8279EFD46C.jpeg
what was that Bagley called? the E.T.? Old Poe's, Bomber, Mudbug, Dying Flutter.
What was that Mann's called? the Loudmouth? and the jointed one I think is called a Sparkletail?
What is the jerkbait, an early suspending Rogue? That's the one I'm having the hardest time on the ID.
I owned most of those at one time or another. Caught a lot of fish on Bagley B1, B2, DB1, DB2 and DB3 but not much on the Smoo or ET. Still have some old Poe's, Bombers, and Mudbugs around but haven't thrown them in a long time. Out of the ones you show, I probably caught the most on the Dying Flutter prop bait.
It was a rebel made lure.
Here is a few more. 0CAA34D0-4E0C-4823-B14E-72B010BACBD8.jpeg
I caught a ton of bass while growing up in Iowa throwing a Mudbug in that pattern. I still have a few that I've not used in years, they really pull hard with today's retrieve ratios!

Yeah I'm seeing that here and there... Hmmmm...Funny though. I called Mann's up on a whim and they dug 'em out of old stock and sent 'em to me at cost... They were awesome in the transaction.

"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
