My dad used to complain about how expensive a Hopkins was in the early sixties.I think they were like 1.99 or something.He used to buy them one at a time.Eventually he'd cast it off and he would have to stop fishing cause it's all he had to use.
Eventually he broke down and bought a little surf bag and some plugs.I remember exactly what was in there.A striper swiper,blue/white,2 atom poppers,one blue/white and the other orange/yellow,a Hopkins ,a diamond Jig and a Floating Rebel.Some of those great big huge clunky old bottom rigs and sinkers, a knife,stringer and a fish scaler.I caught my first Bass on that Rebel in '67.
