Us Cajuns, I’m like Justin Wilson, a half bleed, Lorio on my mothers side, picked up a lot from the Choctaw Indians, they influenced our cooking as well. Our gumbo file, ground Sasafrass leaves came from the Choctaw’s.

Do you fish for sac-a-lait or crappie?

Choupique or Bowfin. Have caught on artificial worms in freshwater and yes I have eaten them. We make fish patties and pan fry them.

Choupique! Sounds Cajun to me!

My grandad, many years ago made me a flag pole for my front yard. Made one for pretty much everybody in the family. His trademark was the ball on top of the pole was a tail light from an old 50 something Buick. He got them from junk yards. Also gave me my first car, a 1950 Buick special with a straight 8 and three on the tree.

My mother’s favorite car was a 1953 Buick Century. Your welcome on the service, I’d do it again. I always thought I’d like to hot rod a straight 8.

In 1962 I had friend that almost talked me into roughnecking with him, long story! Anyway, I ended up in the Army. How did y'all fair out from the storm?

You could always use a section of drill stem.

Sounds like Ruffneck talk.

That’s a good one and sums it up perfectly. I sure wish more people knew what “Old Glory” even is. Sad so many don’t and couldn’t care less.

Mom & Pops and small manufacturing have just about been swallowed or put out of business by the conglomerates. I read that the Lucky 13 was Heddons most successful lure. Again thanks for the post up.

Thanks for the run down memory lane Geomike. I think there were at least 3 different sizes and there were some jointed versions.

The lucky 13 came in variety of colors. Red and white, red with scale design, green perch and Green frog to name a few, I have owned each of those colors. I say it is a Lucky 13. The bottom lip doesn’t protrude as much on this lure but I have noticed that some do protrude more than others. Why? I could speculate but that is all it would be. This one is a an old wooden one and has the glass eyes. If I’m not mistaken the first ones were hand made.
