Great display! I fished "Cow Bells" in the 40's and 50's. The short ones. They do work but I hate to troll. My buddy use to say lots of guys die while trolling! They fall asleep, fall over board and drown! :laugh: :laugh:

I would tend to agree with your wife, but trolling with the right lure in the right place comes close!

I can't remember the last time I trolled a plug of any kind, have trolled spinners once in the past 5/6 years. It has been jigs. I do have some old wooden plugs, mostly Creek Chub's.....h2l

I do troll spinners for walleyes can be very effective at times. I have started to jig for them and have had good success. H2l the walleye whisperer has taught me a lot.

When I was a kid, we used to troll for walleyes on Lake Champlain using June Bug Spinners with night crawlers.  It was deadly back then.

I still have a few June bug spinners, tried them last year with no luck. Maybe there were no fish around when I tried them.

  Old Muskie spinners. Won't use them. Afraid to lose them!

I like what you did with those spinners catfisher.  I have inherited some of my grandpa's old lures, thanks for the idea!

Everyone used the june bug spinner with a nightcrawler on Erie during the 60s and 70s.  To keep it just off bottom they used chugging irons.  During that time the june bug spinner was modified by adding a yellow sally with a night crawler.  If you caught a walleye that weighed 6 pounds you got your picture  in the paper.
My fish are all the same size - bite size

Caught these last August with hand tied spinners and 5 oz chugging irons. I love fishing old school.
