I have a really old black fury and a new one in my tackle box. I usually have a back up of my favorite lures. I just can’t bring myself to use the new one because the old one is so productive.
Had it on today and lost a monster pike at shore. Will be going after it and try to get photo of it. I am an old school guy that actually likes eating fish I catch. Pike and trout are my favorites to eat.
They still make that pattern just so you know
They work good until the shaft gets totally destroyed. Also used them all scraped up with fur missing. #5 Black Flury Yellow Dot. They work for me in the summer.
Go get ’em Len! Mepps is hard to beat for Pike.
Take a file to them hooks Lem. DK.
I know what you mean. I have a tray in my tackle box I keep the magic baits. Lures I won’t use,Unless I ‘m on the skunk hole and the pressure is on. On a week long Canada trip one of my rapalas took on celebrity status, earning its way to the magic tray. I believe in the confidence lures and specific lures that have a certain wobble or vibration that just plain out fishes the same make and model.
