Welp, now that I am getting back into angling after some 25 years, here is my tackle box and lures I used to use, and going through these wondering which ones to keep for this area. Lake Champlain where I fished for big muskies and pike, I assume I need to tone it down on lure sizes for here... but anyways, looking forward to your laughs and feedback.

Keep them all! You never know what the fish will be biting. The old lures at times will out fish the new stuff, since the fish have not seen that presentation. It just sucks when you lose an "old faithful" after landing a few fish and you don't have a spare one in the box...

I had a walleye waterwolf for muskies that I crushed a few nice fish on and it still swam true - chewed to hell. I should have retired it. Sure enough lost it eventually on a snag later that season. Brutal lol

Mepps Minnow I grew up in the seventies and this was my dad's go to and it produced.
I had to get the pic off the internet as I dont have one anymore.
The Beno was a solid producer as well.

Wow forgot about that minnow. Had one forever and have not used it or this spinner in decades. Time goes by fast and tackle boxes just keep filling up with more stuff.
