Hattie - my favorite has got to be the Cotton Cordell Big O. Chartreuse color, or white. I have a great memory - as a kid I used to watch Bill Saiff's Rod and Reel fishing show. They had a telethon one year and my Dad called in with a pledge and got Bill on the line. I spoke with him and I was totally in awe. He asked me some basic fishing stuff and said since I was such an avid young angler, he'd send me two lures. Those were the two I got - white and chartreuse CC Big O's. I had the green one forever and caught dozens of fish with it.

Good memories, those. Sitting by a river as a kid, time standing still. Everything focused on that lure and the rhythm of the line being reeled in, waiting for that strike...
