Lost one of my favorite reels.(stupid carelessness) thought it would be easy to replace, guess not. they don't make those anymore. went to replace my work boots (Chippewa) a style I have worn for forty years, nope they discontinued that style. My Jeep Liberty has 226K miles on it, looked to buy a new one, nope they don't make them anymore.
How many of you can't get what you are used to or really like.......because they don't make that anymore?

I had a two blade spinner many, many years ago that looked like a Daredevil. The Northern Pike loved it. Can't find it anywhere....they don't make it anymore.

The one thing that comes to mind for me would be a lure made by Blue Fox called “minnow spin”. Here’s a picture of one:

I caught my PB LM bass (6-1/2 lb) on this lure.

They discontinued this lure several years ago.
My son found a couple of them once, so I bought those. Oh well….

Our appetite for cheap imported goods over quality stuff made in USA did us in.
Having said that, I am grateful for new things brought to us by technology, like anchor lock. Lol

The little jeep Cherokee 4ltr straight six, 5.4 Grand cherokee. Loved those wagons. should have kept them. Kids drove them. Always dependable. Didn't expect them to disappear around here. I'd like another of that little one for a toy truck. Never worried about them getting stuck in the mud. We had the '88 and '93 4ltr and a '95 grand. Very good all wheel drive vehicle.
