I used to fish with Billy Bass years ago. I took several clients and friends to Lake O the Pines, to fish with him. He gave me several lures because I fished with him so many times, and I bought no telling how many of them. I still have several of them. I sometimes fish with them and still catch fish on them. They are not my choice in most lakes, but I fish two tournaments on Lake O the Pines a year and always use them there. Sometimes I catch fish on them and sometimes I don't. Would not part with them. Good to hear others still try to find them. I found your article as I was serching for more of them. I just read your article. I used to fish with Billy Bass years ago.

I was able to amass a small collection over about a year. I have payed into the $20's for new ones in the box and less than $10 for used ones. I will have to disagree that they are just for collecting- these are for fishing!!! Actually if aren't obsessed with these exact baits like me, The Luhr Jensen Bass Oreno is basically the same bait and it is still in production. I would just add a bucktail treble hook on the rear to more closely simulate the Billy. Billy is an absolutely fantastic topwater bait- works with a slow retrieve on the shallow dive or can make a vicious chug like a magnum pop-R. Or you can finesse it and just make it spit and skip across the surface (even backing up, if your good) , causing just the minimum amount of ruckus, and the WHOOOSH that big mossback crushes your Billy Bass! Good luck and great fishing!!! They do come up on Ebay every few months. I was able to amass a small collection over about a year.
