While looking through a collection today of old VHS tapes from which I plan to have a few converted to CDs, I'll bet you can't guess what surprises I stumbled across.Here's the first "jewel" I came up with (actually, I have two of these):
As described on the back of the protective box, "Roland Martin's revolutionary new Helicopter Lure is actually four lures in one--each fully equipped to help you catch virtually every kind of fish in any kind of water.
"* As a topwater buzzbait, it crawls over the thickest cover without a glitch or a hitch!
"* As an underwater spinnerbait, it bumps the stumps, prods the weedlines, and ticks the logs better than the best of them.
"* As a deepwater lure, it 'copters down to where the big fish school up for a feeding frenzy!
"* And on top of it all, it's a plastic worm--so you can cast it, jig it, troll it, or float it at all depths and speeds!
"Plus, the Helicopter Lure comes impregnated with an irresistible scent exclusively developed by Dr. Juice. To the fish, the new 'Helicopter Lure Scent' smells and tastes just like real food. So they strike it harder and hold it longer, helping guarantee you a surer set and a higher than ever cast-to-cast ratio!
"Now, sit back and see for yourself how to customize your 'copter for the catch of the day!"
The second surprise I uncovered was one of these VHS tapes about Alex Langer's infamous Flying Lures.
Besides being promoted as "the #1 selling lure of all time," Langer's invention promised to "get the biggest hits and bites--and catch the biggest fish. It's secret: Unlike normal baits, the patented jig head and flat lure surface propel the lure forward, which lets you cast where the fish are hiding and stay in the strike zone longer. You'll spend less time casting and reeling, more time fishing and landing the big ones! Perfect for fresh or saltwater fish!"
Incidentally, such a deal I have for anyone interested. You can have all three for free. Now no pushing or shoving--PLEASE!
