Gust - That tackle box of yours is sweet. That is how a tackle box should look like

I have retired 3 lures - A Red Devil that I used in the NWT fall fishing for Pike about 10 years ago. I found a small bay on a crazey windy evening. As I pulled into the bay the wind just stopped and the lake calmed down to glass. I started to cast and I did 100 casts and caught 100 Pike. The last one was a 32/lb monster. This was a month after my dad had passed away when I was on this trip. After the monster I just sat down in the boat and had tears of happiness that my dad taught me about fishing. This lure has been mounted in my boat so I can look at it while trolling and smile like a goofball.

The other 2 are a Five of Diamonds and a big clunker of a Rattlin Rap. Both have caught so many Pike in S. Alberta that there is no paint on them.

Thats the nice thing about tossin steel. Each lure has a story.
