I watched the Raiders march down the field in the snow, only to lose to the '75 Steelers because they ran out of time. The Steelers won the AFC title that day for the second year in a row. We had to work that weekend, so one of the other carpenters brought a rabbit ear, black and white TV up onto the roof where we were working so we could still watch the game.
That was a game!

When I was a kid I cought my biggest bass on a Gator Tail worm. I kind of got out of fishing for about 15 years and when I got back into it (about ten years ago) I realized they were no longer making them. I searched the Internet and found a store that had a bunch of old bags of them. I think I bought all of them. I believe I saw them in my basement a couple of weeks ago. I'll go look for them this weekend.

Mepp's marabou #3 Colorado blade in-line spinner. I've caught hundreds of bass on it and the occasional pike, blue gill.

Yo Zuri Banana Boat.

Bought my first one to try on some inshore flats and out fished a buddy throwing a skitterwalk 4 to 1. Brought them home and caught a 9lb bass out of my little farm pond. Ordered 4 or 5 more of them, and I'm down to 2.

Not a discontinued bait, but a discontinued color. It's a Sparkle Perch Rat-L-Trap. Lost my last one early this season.. :doh:

Buddha Baits Popfire
Suspending Fat Free Shad (the old ones, the size that was about 1/2 oz and the one that was almost 1 oz) those things flat out caught fish.

Berkley Lizards Pumpkin Chartruese with Chartruese tail

Accent Double Buzz.....

I may be back on this list once I think of some more baits I wish were still around...
