Very cool Billy. They are old but not that old, when you find them with clear or amber eyes, then they are old...


52M 701 pink head / white body is still made today...or at least one can find them in store shelves.

The rest are out of production now but cool old colors that still work. The 52M USA or Patriotic or Patriot was brought back after 911 in remembrance of the WTC in the Catch 2000. It was produced for a year and then discontinued. I take a 52M"TT"24, remove the middle hook, paint the head red and fish it all the time as this has about the same action as the C 2000... Great find on this one...

Keep your eye out for the 68Ms, very hard to find. Great older bait, very heavy but in out current, there wonderful to have as they will get down to where the bite is. They are the same size as the 52M.

52M EP Emerald Predator is a great clear day, clear water, jetty bait here at home, don't be scared to use it...

Occupation: I havent decided yet.
I actually met a guy who was a salesman for Mirrolures for years awhile back. He showed me sample lures he had that he used to show tackle shop owners the lures and they all had weights and depths writen on them for reference. Some of them I had never seen before. I bought ALL of them from him.
Several are typical 52M & TT style and colors but in different weights that I dont think I have ever seen anywhere. I was sooo pleased to stumble onto them.

Thumbs up

Post 'em up Shore-power ! Heck, everybody dig thru your old stuff and show it off. I'd love to see your stash. Any M60, 65 or 68's ? I'd bet there are a lot of the heavier M series in Florida where they were popular for ditch tarpon.
