Okie drift bobbers

[etacada]

i was fishing the clack the other day when in the current i found a pink okie drift bobber, it looks like a sack of roe eggs. these look like the real thing and i bet they catch fish. the problem is i have never seen these for sale in the portland area stores. anybody know where to buys these? thanks for the help! :smile:

They don't make 'em anymore.

Your best hopes of getting any are from an individual selling some, or possibly locating some in an out of the way tackle shop that still has some.

You might send an email to Lure Jensen. I believe they use to make them and maybe they can do it again.

I guess i'll hold onto the one i found, it's a collectors item!

Dont get sucked in to paying big $$$ for an okie drifter...like so much fishing tackle they did catch fish, but are more of a novelty now. Kind of like a Dardevle spoon ...everyone likes to dream about the good ol' days.

Trust me, just use your corkies and other drift bobbers....the fish dont care that much.

Some shops still sell okies but they aren't the the plastic ones they used to be. I bought some from a shop in Springfield that went out of business last year. The had a bunch but they were made of something different than the old ones but were the same sizes and shapes. I could put my nail into them with pressure, not like the old ones I have. A lot of guys swear by them and they go for big $$ in the classifieds but if you have confidence in a corky and yarn, you'll catch just as many fish. There is no wonder bait or attractant that works all the time...
