Awesome Gimmick Fishing Lures from the 70s & 80s from Retro Bassin'

- Today we are looking at awesome gimmick fishing lures from the 70s and 80s. These lures were sent to the show from Retro Bassin'. His youtube channel specializes in vintage fishing gear from the golden age of bass fishing. The lures in this episode are mostly gimmick lures, which I love. Seeing silly lures like these make it to market is both a happy moment, and a sad one too. Some people will do anything to make a dollar. I am not sure which I enjoy more, actually owning these awesome lures, or the nostalgic feeling I get when I look at them. #gimmick #fishing

Thanks again and Merry Christmas! 10-4
I do love the old school lures, but love the new Rods and reels to cast them with

@@Fisherman_83 I get it!
Awesome. Nothing like retro, including lures 😎 Born in 75, I recall some of these as a youth.
P.s. Congrats Christopher on win.
The only one I remember is the helicopter lure. I'd be interested in seeing your entire vintage lure collection.
Oh man, it might be a long video
Oh man. Where is the Flying Lure. I still have some. Also, I just tossed my old Powebait crank a few months ago.
that bass buster beetle spin is a very good lure iv'e caught a lot of panfish and bass on those when i was a kid
This video was great! I bet that a road trip to fish with Retro Bassin' would blow up you tube. Especially if you both fished vintage lures. Thanks for all the entertainment and education you have and will provide.
What a cool unboxing. Retro Bassin has a lot of treasures
He finds all the good stuff!
Those retro lures look fun. Some goofy ones but all interesting. Glad to see all you memories popup.

These are some crazy old lures awesome package sir. Keep it realistic sir.
I think the packaging is Rad as well!
@@RealisticFishing yes they definitely don't make things the way they use too...I loved the wrestling book also....and thank you for the support Merry Christmas and hope you have a blessed holiday sir.
wow what a walk down memory lane
Those were some awesome looking lures. Fishing has really slowed down for me, but I still get out when I can, there's nothing more realistic than losing sensation in all your extremities.
I don't remember some of those lures as a kid growing up in the 90s. I'm sure my uncle would remember most of those you showed. What I remember were those silly looking swimbaits that mimicked real fish. I always thought they were so cool looking when I was growing up. I always wanted a set, but never got around to receiving any.
Brings back memories of the 70's. I probably fished with most of those.
One of my favorite local sporting goods shops is closing after over 40 years so I thought of these videos when shopping and bought some classics.
That was awesome! I was a proud owner of a Popiel Pocket Fisherman in the 70's and lost is somewhere in the 80's when my parents moved to Alabama. Great video Alex and an awesome display of gimmick and retro lures from RetroBassin. The hat looked great by the way! Keep you line tight and outlook REALISTIC!
I remember many of these from old TV commercials and going to the sporting goods store. It was cool to reminisce with you. Merry Christmas, dude!
Yes thanks retro bassin, those baits take me back to my childhood and thanks Alex for keeping up the great content.
Great show Alex enjoy looking at the old lures keep it realistic my friend
Thanks Arthur! KIR 👊
Awesome collection, I remember some of those from childhood.
That was actually a good video I don't know why it wasn't more popular I know I watched it as soon as you mentioned it maybe I should comment on more videos merry Christmas Alex
Keep it realistic
Awesome retro fishing lures and more. congrats to the winner.
Wow, those definitely were some interesting baits to say the least! I honestly don’t think that I have ever seen anything like them. Very cool to see, thanks Alex, and thanks Retro Fishing. KIR!
Awesome retro lures!
I remember buying beetle spins in those packages as a kid. Definitely nostalgic. Keep it realistic!
I love that classic packaging
Wow, Retro Bassin has a lot of knowledge about those lures ... e.g. the guy who patented the fiber weed guards ... pretty impressive. Thanks to both of you for sharing!
Found a neat tackle store thanks to Retro Bassin and picked up some fun stuff :).
Merry Christmas Alex to you and your’s and thanks for keeping it realistic for the rest of us!
Congrats to Christopher! KIR y’all!
I bet its an awesome store! Merry Christmas!
Big fan of both channels. Always entertaining content and as someone who grew up fishing in the 80’s, those old lures bring back a lot of memories. Keep it Retro-listic!

Retro Bassin you sent in some cool old lurers. Alex Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Congratulations Christopher. That hybrid berkeley power bait, I had one as a kid. So many memories fishing with it. A good assortment. Thank you Retro Fishing. Merry Christmas Alex and family. Merry Christmas Realistic Fishing Family. KIR
I still have a pack of the flying lures
Wow some of those lures are crazy looking. I think I still have a box of flying lures in my mums attic in Wales, UK. My grandmother bought them for me from the shopping channel when I was a kid. Tried catching pike with them but was never successful. Fun though!
Thats another fun gimmick lure!
The intro..I had one of those pocket set ups! Was my grandpas
Ever catch anything on it?
@@RealisticFishing we would go on camping trips and I would find small ponds and catch lots of panfish! Would love to have one again. Keep it in the kayak

That prismatic spinner worm is awesome. There is a company that sells those spinners for walleye bottom bouncing now. Neat old school gimmick lures. Love to see them.

Nice bunch of old lures. Merry Christmas and thanks for keeping it realistic!!!
Merry Christmas!
I remember the first vol of that wrestling book from elementary school. Never seen the 2nd one so kudos to you for the lucky gift. Have a Merry Christmas brother.
Awesome collection of retro lures. I think I read that wrestling book too! Cool to see the championship belt on display and thanks again Alex!
Love the old school beetle spin packaging 👍
Me too!
I so love old lures and gear. I watch and am subscribed to your channel, of course. I also watch and am subscribed to RetroBassin. I love both of your channels. Keep it Realistic.... and retro!
P.S. I caught so many bass on a super frog when I was a kid. It was so great.
Thanks 45! Glad to hear the frog worked, I might have to try it

Merry Christmas!
very cool stuff. I remember some of those retro lures

I've actually fished with that Berkley soft/hard crankbait and the helicopter lure. Never caught anything on either, but thanks for bring back memories.
Great video Alex, that was awesome of retro bassin to send those baits into the show. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas
Neat stuff.
When I was in my youth (it's been a minute...) my GranDad would always ask "what were you using Son?, to which I'd reply some new bait of that time period 80's-90's. He would always answer "you should fish this or that classic old school lure, if it fooled big bass 50 years ago it'll fool big bass today".
Thanks GranDad🎯
Dang that brought back some great memories! Thanks!
Merry Christmas!
Very interesting christmas unboxing!! Thanks for the giveaways, as always!
Love these kinds of episodes!!!
Among the greatest gifts I have ever witnessed since childhood 🎅 definitely REALISTIC ! Love the dude that goes DAMN, love it each time. Merry Christmas, …,damn.
That is professional wrestler Ron Simmons 💪
Good theme for your channel! Retro realistic!
Love the shirt !! Where did you find it sir?
Someone sent it in to the show a few years ago 👍
Banjo minnow in the 90's
Hey realistic was that you at nice mill dam on Saturday? Great video
Might have been! 😉
Alright Christopher! Nice bundle to win! Have a safe and great Christmas everyone
Def had the copter lures. All still in the heavy weeds of lake Hartwell lol. That's an awesome box of goodies bro. Never even heard of alot of those. And cool book too. Some classic workers listed on there, like good ole captain Lou lol. Please tell me you've seen him in that old super Mario brother super show back in the day. Hilarious lol
Happy holidays realistic fishing. KIR
Can almost smell the popcorn maker from the deli in my Kmart sportsgoods isle growing up
That sounds awesome. I never really got to eat Kmart concessions, but I wanted to!
Very nice stuff from Retro. I have several of my grandfather's torpedo lures. Beat to shit but with new trebles and some luck, who knows I might get lucky. Thanks Alex.
Brought back a lot of memories.
Cheers, mate! Wacky lures:) Merry Christmas! Keep on! NO commercial sh#t, just fishing!
I remember a frog lure that the water would complete the circuit and it would make noises
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Alex!!!
Man, that's so cool!
