Default Memories of our changing times

Now that the snow is flying, I started to think about the different rigs I have seen over the past 60 years. In the 50's and 60's if someone had anything other than a 3 way and a 3 foot leader for fluke you would have thought he wouldn't catch anything, How times have changed
In the 70's and 80's beads showed up, and also skirts. Over the past 20 years, soft baits , stinger hooks, double hook rigs, power pro etc

Baits have also changed, from squid strips and spearing to an assortment, sand eels, whole squids, bunker strips, and many more.

Some have worked , some have not. What have you seen?

This is just to start the memories going, Bluefish, Tuna, Mackerel, Whiting , Ling, Flounder, Striped Bass, Blackfish, etc. all have stories to tell.

Let's hear some of the good ones, and also some of those that didn't. Captains & Mates current and former please chime in, with what you have witnessed.
