Who Remembers Floppy Lures?

[JRJR]

I have an old Hard Body Floppy Lure. They were a great lure and a shame they stopped making them.

Anybody have any? and Anybody have any they would sell?

Would love to hear comments on this subject.

fantastic lures...nailed a few jack up bells creek with them, way back when.....
later.

[JRJR]

Yeah, I saw some on ebay but they go for big bucks. I guess I'll keep trying and might jag some for the 'right price'

I'm not game to use the one I have left for fear I will lose it.


In the past I could never go fishing without getting hit by a bass using a floppy.

If I had enough of them I'd be using some of them. Not the expensive ones though. The only time I lose lures usually is when I get snagged.

Sounds like there are still plenty of Floppy lures out there if you can find them.

You'd think a popular lure like that, they would keep making.

[billfisher]

I think the molds wore out - at least thats the story I heard. Being made of rubber they perish with age and take on water. I doubt if any will be usable by now.

NOjacks,any chance of getting a photo of your mates collection & posting it up here? sounds impressive.

cheers rossco

remember them!! geees I remember way back that if you did not use a Floppy then you might as well not go Bass fishing, anything else would just not catch fish , funny that was also true of Quintrex boats, Tortue line,Mustad hooks, Jarvis Walker rods and a whole host of other "must haves" kind of like Braid and Plastics and a reel with 101 bearings in it, now, without them you will just not catch fish!!! ask any salesman!

[JRJR]

Yeah, but out of all that you just listed what is rarer than hens teeth and is worth a fortune on ebay?

I have 1 Flopy and boy did it catch bass! It is now retired as I'm not game to cast a $50 lure for bass., especially one that can't be replaced.

I have a floppy I would be willing to part with. Photos attached. Make an offer and I will consider.

[Noelm]

mind you a lure nearly as good as the Floppy and STILL available is the big O and Little O lures, I think they are made or at least distributed by Shakespear.

[roydsy]

I have one floppy left in the tackle box, this would be one of the first lures i ever caught a fish on. i will post pics when I get home tonight.
