Lure Quizz ! 2024

MaxDal reply :

MODERATORS ! Feel free to delete this topic if there's already such a quizz in the forum.

I've looked for one with the search engine but wasn't able to locate one. Yet, I'm pretty new to this great forum, so maybe the Senior Member already had such a quizz.

Anyway, here's the idea ...

One guy post a picture of a lure (he's got, or a picture he found)... then the rest of us have to identify it (usually only the brand and the name of the lure) !

The one who finds the name of the bait get the right to post the next picture.... 8-)

It's just for fun, and it can help us discover baits we don't know.

At some points, some hardcore "Lure quizz" players browse though the whole internet to find the name of one particular bait, which helps them discover new lures (and, in the long run, that helps the bait-monkey too ;D)

So what do you think ?

MaxDal reply :

Well ... no objections !

So, I will just give the quizz a start.

Here are the rules.

1- Respect all the rules of BR

2- Post a lure that people can find (no home-made unknown, unnamed lure) (Don't post low-quality picture)

3- The one who finds the lure, posts the next picture

4- People have to give both the brand and the name of the lure to win

5- If the lure displayed is a sure knock-off of another popular lure, the name and brand of the original lure are the infos that one must give.

(for instance all the brush hog knock-offs, the one who says "ZOOM Brush Hog" wins)

Hope you have fun, here's the first lure. Easy one to get the quizz started !

PS: Don't post your picture with a hot-link or it'll be to easy to identify, don't let the name of the bait in the name of the picture either.

Sugar Shad by Luhrjensen

MaxDal reply :

Bravo ! Now it's your turn ....

Let's see something a bit more difficult now. 8-)

GobbleDog reply :

Here's a very common antique lure:

Bassn Blvd reply :

Is that made by Heddon and perhaps a popper? Actually it may not be a popper but that's the only thing close to what I want to call it.

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

I'm guessing heddon, I just can't think of the name.................

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

Offical guess............Heddon Zaragossa? :-? :-?

GobbleDog reply :

It's called a Dalton Special. Here's an article about it that I just Googled:

The name is synonymous with wood plugs and topwater bass fishing. For more than 60 years the Dalton Special has maintained a reputable position in the topwater wood plug industry and has earned undeniable status as a legend of topwater fishing success.

The Dalton Special was first designed and whittled by Edward Browne in the fall of 1928. Not long after, Paul Mannon, the owner of Angler Bait Co. (A.B.C.) of Orlando, Florida was given the production right and he named it the Angler Plug. He continued to make small numbers of the lure until 1933 when he entered into a partnership with Dazzy Vance of the old Brooklyn Dodgers baseball fame (1922-1936) to form the Dazzy Vance Bait Co. The plug was then called the Angle Frog Bait and production continued under the Vance name through 1934 when Mannon was killed in an auto accident. His widow took the remaining plugs in his estate to the Mitchell Tackle Shop in Orlando to sell them.

Enter P.P. Dalton. He bought all of the blanks and finished plugs Mitchell had for 20 cents each and, for the next several months, painted and sold Dalton Specials during his travels.

When Dalton was at Lake Okeechobee in 1935, he purchased some large black bass from a commercial netter out on the lake. Upon his return to shore, he had his picture taken with the bass and one of his plugs. The photo made the local paper and plug sales soared, so much so in fact, that he could no longer make and paint enough to meet demand. So, that same year he patented the plug and entered into a production arrangement with the Shakespeare Co. that continued until just after World War II.

At that point, Dalton and Shakespeare parted ways and the production rights went to the Florida Fishing Tackle Co. (Barracuda Brand Products). They marketed the plug until 1975 when it was sold to Marine Metal Products Co. of Clearwater, Florida, a manufacturer of aeration systems.

In late 1987, Marine Metal Products fishing tackle division was sold to Luhr Jensen, and the Special moved 2,700 miles west to Hood River, Oregon. Under the Luhr Jensen label, the Dalton[ch65533] once again returned to its original sugar pine configuration. Demand for the plug blossomed during the late '80s in light of a lot of publicity in several popular fishing publications concerning wood plugs. Receiving special attention were the more historic ones such as the Bass-Oreno, Nip-I-Diddee and, of course, the Dalton Special. These are all now offered by Luhr Jensen, again in wood, with the original riggings and finishes for distribution under the Luhr Jensen Classic Woods[ch65533] label.

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

Hey since nobody guessed it, post another one. or I have one I can post...............

Interesting article BTW.

MaxDal reply :

Nice one ..... But the one that puts the picture can not answer !

Anyway, only the one who gives the full name & brand wins .... so when you only know the brand ! Don't post too soon or you'll give others hint that they may find useful.

Nice one Gobbledog, but put another one and let us struggle ;D

GobbleDog reply :

Here's one they've been making for 50+ years. I found one in my dad's old tacklebox and thought it was extremely rare... but apparently it isn't.

Pretty cool name for a lure.

GobbleDog reply :

Cool looking larvae. I initially thought it was some kind of "River2Sea" lure, but I'm pretty certain it ain't. I'm interested to hear what it is because it would make a fine addition to my "bug lure" collection.

But he knows them good ... from europe too !

Anyway, now maybe we can try harder stuff.

It almost looks like a Jackall Squadminnow, but the back is dif.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Megabass Vision?

detroit1 reply :

Sorry folks- but the Hellbender was made by Whopper Stopper and not Heddon. The w/s has the heart shaped bill, and the other popular lure like this was made by Bomber, and had a rounded lip.(called the Water Dog). I don't think Heddon made a lure like that. Anyways, I have a half dozen of these that never see water anymore...

Megabass Vision?

i will agree it does look a lot like the vision, but, after a close comparison, the vision has a different head and bill

Bass XL reply :

Yeah, this is a tough one. It's a pretty lure tho.

T-rig reply :

It's not a Jackall Squad Minnow or a Vision 110. I'll give you a hint. The name starts with a Z.

rfrazier reply :

Zebra... Zuchinni? :-?

MaxDal reply :

Wake up Tackle Junkies from around the world !

The bait is Japanese, as should be expected from T-rig !

The brand name start with a Z indeed !

And the lure name with a R ....

Look for a brand that uses a transfer system known as "Mag Drive" !

(Not daiwa, yop cause Daiwa used it too at some point, they actually designed it.)

Hope that helps !

If it isn't a Zip Baits Orbit, is it a Zip Baits Rigge? I haven't seen the Manta Ray...

T-rig reply :

Zip Baits is close enough for me. It actually is a Zip Baits ZBL System Minnow.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Cool....

Here's mine:

MaxDal reply :

Funny Daniel, I'd have thought it was not a Zip baits system Minnow 15 HD F on your first pic because it didn't have salwater hooks.

I'd have say a Zip Baits Rigge 90F, which is basically the same body in 90-mm length and with normal hooks.

my mistake !

Hey T-rig is that a floater, or does it suspend? Worth buying?

Avalonjohn44 reply :

It definitely bears resemblance to a River Runt, but it is smaller, and was used on a fly rod...

MaxDal reply :

Hum that's a tough one !

Kinda looks like a hybrid between a river runt, a South Bend O-reno and CCBCo Pikie. ;D

I have no idea on that one.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

How long before I give the answer?

MaxDal reply :

Well, this is up to you... there is no such thin as a time-limit on this game.

I remember playing this game on a french fishing website (which I left because of the absence of moderators :-X).

And one bait came out, nobody found what it was.

The topic went down on the forum, I came accross it, knew what the bait was and gived the thread a new life ;D.

But sure, if you want to keep the topic alive, you can tell us and maybe like put another one for us to struggle 8-).

Your call !

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Cool. I'll wait a little while longer.

.dsaavedra. reply :

wow cant find that bait anywhere.

i have a bait that is pretty old, and i have NO CLUE what it is, hopefully someone here can identify it.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Alright, the lure is an Artful Dodger by Paul Bunyun Lures... I just grabbed the pic from ebay and changed the name...

OK, Somebody else gets to pick the next lure...

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Dont think it is a real difficult one for some maybe,but you wont find it in your local tackle store or wal mart,dicks,etc :-X Picture is just slightly larger than actual.

...

Wow AvalonJohn ! That was a tough one !

I guess we learn something new everyday... Now I know the Paul Bunyan Bait Company . Thanks !

As for your lure, Bass_fin@tic ! This is a Salmo Slider in RSH color.

A classic bait for pike-fishing in europe I think.

Is that right ?

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

way to go!

I erased the name from the side with photoshop lol.

That is a slider7 real shiner(the smaller one) and it does a real number on bass too.A really weird bait to use though.

MaxDal reply :

Never tried the slider on bass ... I don't use it much anyway !

Here's the next lure ! We're going back to the land of the rising sun ...

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

OUCH!! I don't have a CLUE!!!

8-)

Bass XL reply :

It looks a lot like a lure my buddy has...Is it a Rago Baits Mouse?

MaxDal reply :

Not a Rago mouse ..... yet, that's where the inspiration came from for the Japanese manufacturer who makes this one.

This one is smaller in size than a Rago.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Definitely 'cute' lure...

Megabass Rat-X?

T-rig reply :

Kind of looks like the rat-x but it's different. I don't have a clue.

Also has similarities to the Heddon Meadow Mouse.

MaxDal reply :

geee ... Not you Daniel ! You can't fail on that one !

What's happening in this world ?

Daniel you have to find it or I shall cancel a special mail Just teasing you...

I'll give you an hint ! The tail is made of a sort of elastomer, named something gel.

Go go T-rig

T-rig reply :

Lucky Craft Hamster? ;D ;D

MaxDal reply :

There you go Daniel ! A Lucky Craft Hamster colony ... see on the pic below!

Well to help you out a bit, Daniel was right. The lure is a Lucky Craft product.... although not a Hamster ...

MaxDal reply :

Well, it seems like nobody found it ...I'll give it to you !

This is a LC Rattrap ....

Next is whoever wants to post a lure for us to find !

T-rig reply :

Made in Japan.

That's because us europeans are awake before the guys in the US.

The lure is a Rebel Tracdown Minnow. Here's another japanese bait.

MaxDal reply :

Wow Dan, you're on fire this morning !

Well, that would be a nice ZENITH Rosso Corsa Laditz 120 in Black mafia ..... SP I think !

T-rig reply :

That's right.

MaxDal reply :

Ok so here's the next challenge.

New rule though : to avoid playing just with Daniel !

From now on, it's not permitted for one player to give back-to-back answers on the posted lures.

Let me explain myself :

For instance,

1- Player X posts a lure

2 - Player Y finds the lure

3 - Player Y posts a new lure

4 - Player X can not answer this one within the first 24 hours.

Is that OK with everyone participating ?

There you go with the new one

(Here T-rig is not allowed to answer in the first 24 hours) ;D

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I've been playing too, but had no idea on the last two.

I'm looking that newest one right now and trying to figure it out...

Avalonjohn44 reply :

It's very similar to a bandit 100, but I know that's not right...

Jimzee reply :

Jimzee reply :

None of the above guys. I'll give you a hint, these sale for $20-$30 on Ebay sometimes. That will narrow it down a bit.

martijw, the case is a Shimano crank case and they are no longer made. They are getting harder to find each year.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

A Zoom WEC?

I'm not supposed to guess but I think that is also a Bagley's lure. I remember seeing those in the clearance bin at Gander Mtn. It may not be but the eyes totally say bagleys to me.

MaxDal reply :

Not a storm and not a Beef Stu Stink either ;D ...

Ok let's be serious .. The brand which manufactures this lure was established in 1932 (pretty much a mile-stone in Bass Fishing History ... some guy from Georgia caught a decent bass this same year ).

Anyway, here's a hint : the brand has an history of funky-looking crankbaits featuring weird lips and little wings on the body.

One of their crankbaits really is a Bass trap !

Any idead ?

Chad. reply :

Worden lures?

MaxDal reply :

Nope .... yes Worden lures was also started in 1932 I think, but the two brands have nothing to do with each other, except maybe for some slight similitudes between models.

I'm pretty surprised that nobody has this bait in his tacklebox ....

rondef reply :

The Creek Chub Bait Co

It is a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish

Aproximately two miles from this spot, on June 2, 1932, George W. Perry, a 19-year old farm boy, caught was to become America's most famous fish. The twenty-two pound four ounce largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoldes) exceeded the existing record by more than two pounds has has retained the world record for more than fifty years. Perry and his friend, J.E. Page, were fishing in Montgomery Lake, a slough off the Ocmulgee River, not for trophies but to bring food to the table during those days of the great depression. The fish was caught on a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish, Perry's only lure, and was 32 1/2 inches in length and 28 1/2 inches in girth. The weight and measurements were taken, recorded and notarized in Helena, Georgia and Perry's only reward was seventy-five dollars in merchandise as first prize in Field and Stream Magazine's fishing contest. The longstanding record is one of the reasons that the largemouth bass was made Georgia's Official State Fish. Montgomery Lake is today part of the Department of natural Resources' Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area.

MaxDal reply :

Well .... a little misunderstanding here Rondef ! Indeed the world record largemouth bass was caught with a CCBO Wigglefish ....

But the lure in picture is not a CCBO. The hint I was giving was that the brand was founded in 1932 (the year the WR Largemouth Bass was caught by George Washington Perry)

Be sure to check the picture of the lure to find on the previous page.

Sven & Ole's Miracle Fishin Loors

No sir. I could not find this lure on google, but finally found it on ebay a few days ago... It was listed With a Lazy Ike lure, and the pair went for about $30... I emailed the guy that won, and he filled me in on the lure's name/history/etc...

MaxDal reply :

Cooper Loor by the Cooper Lure Co .....

Wasn't able to find much info about it, except that the company was located in West Huron Street in Chicago, IL.

I just wonder how they swim ? Do you have one ?

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Wow, all I can say is good work. Yup, a cooper loor bubble frog. Some people called them Cooper Loopers... I got one a few months ago as part of an ebay auction, and have only just found out what it was. I think I'm gonna put it in a case...

Was it the clue, or did you already know about the lure? Do you have any good links further identifying it?

Oh, and it's your turn!

MaxDal reply :

Well I gotta say my friend Google was pretty helpfull on that one.

I'm almost sure I have already seen this frog before, but I would have never been able to tell you the name if it wasn't for your clue and Google.

The distribution of these baits seemed to be very limited in both time and space. Pretty confidential distribution it seems.

Nice little frog anyway ! 8-)

OK here's the next bait. Let's go to Japan a little bit.

I think that we should be able to see Daniel back with this one !

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Very odd bait, I've never seen it before but it reminds me of (though I know it's not...) the Anthrax... I like your white-out job on the pic.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I'm stumped. I'm searching google and ebay, and finding nothing.

dumb_dog11 reply :

yeah, i looked at every brand on ichiban tackle too and ...... nothing

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I just finished going thru almost every lure manufacturer on ***, and still haven't figured it out. I give up on this one.

MaxDal reply :

I reckon this lure is quite a gimmick, and I'm going to use it.

But I thought it was a good way to try and have T-rig back in business with japanese stuff.... well maybe, he hasn't seen the post !

Anyway, here's a hint !

The name of the bait (brand+model) contains the words :

- Rolling

- Tackle

...and it is available in two different sizes : 77 - 88

Ok I pretty much gave it away

Dumbdog.. looking for it on ichibantackle was pretty clever ! Infortunately you won't find it there. I'll just say that nowadays the most comprehensive lure source has to be EBAY !

You're next grimlin.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

That was a rough one. What is the action on that bait, Maxdal?

MaxDal reply :

Well, that's a weird lure, John !

I don't have one, but a friend of mine uses it for seabass, so I got the chance to try it a little.

I wasn't very impressed by it.

I would say that the best point of this lure is that it's freaking heavy for its size..... Pretty good castability and a good weight to fish it vertically. Kinda like a vertical jerkbait, pretty weird !

Naturally, it has a strong rolling and you mainly fish vertical. I wasn't very impressed by the action on a steady retrieve.

They also use it for light trolling sometimes.

So, Grimlin, let's see the next lure.

grimlin reply :

this one shouldn't be too hard...but it's a wierd one for me.

It seems that RWF56 did not understand he was supposed to put the next mystery-lure after winning.

And he is not answering my PM..... So I guess I'll just put a new one myself.

The game must go on !

Bass XL reply :

Norman Top Dollar

Bass XL reply :

Ok. Here's a cool one:

Jimzee reply :

Lucky Craft Virtual Baits Kingyo, Nishuki color maybe?

Bass XL reply :

They are similar, but no.

Jimzee reply :

How about River2Sea Gold N' Crank, the Lucky Craft wanna-be?

T-rig reply :

How about River2Sea Gold N' Crank, the Lucky Craft wanna-be?

I agree, looks like the River2Sea Golden Crank 40.

MaxDal reply :

Good on the Norman Bass XL.

I see you already knew you had it right.

By the way, here's a little reminder :

Here are the rules.

1- Respect all the rules of BR

2- Post a lure that people can find (no home-made unknown, unnamed lure) (Don't post low-quality picture)

3- The one who finds the lure, posts the next picture

4- People have to give both the brand and the name of the lure to win

5- If the lure displayed is a sure knock-off of another popular lure, the name and brand of the original lure are the infos that one must give.

(for instance all the brush hog knock-offs, the one who says "ZOOM Brush Hog" wins)

That, is of course if you guys think the rules are fair. We can sure amend the Lure Quizz Constitution at any time.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all lures are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Lifelikeness, Liberty to stay at the bottom of the lake, and the Pursuit of Bass."

Jimzee reply :

Well I guess I will go ahead and post a lure since I'm sure it's a River2Sea Gold N' Crank.

Back to the land of the rising sun for this one. You Japanese lure fanatics will surely jump right on this.

Bass XL reply :

Sorry for the delay. You were correct. As for that crankbait, it looks like a transformer.

T-rig reply :

Bandai G-Master

MaxDal reply :

Well Daniel has the brand and the series name ...

The lure's name is Legender Scissor.

You're next Daniel

BTW the Gold n' Crank from R2S is a complete knock-off of LC Kingyo 40

T-rig reply :

Another japanese bait.

T-rig reply :

It's not a Lucky Craft but a ........ Craft.

Chad. reply :

Gan craft? Ayuja?

T-rig reply :

Quote
Gan craft? Ayuja?

No, the Gan Craft Ayuja is 6" long. The bait in question only measures aprox. 2.3" .

MaxDal reply :

Gee nice one Daniel !

I gotta say I don't know this one.

It's true though that it looks like a Staysee 60SP by LC.

The color and the white lips/jaws of the fish sure look like a Gan Craft, but it's not.

Nah I know a couple of brands with Craft ... but it's not among the brand I know. Not even a North Craft.

You got me on this one Daniel.

T-rig reply :

Yes Max, you're right, it does look like a staysee 60sp. I'll solve the mystery. It's a KEN Craft Lineage Shad 57SP.

MaxDal reply :

That was a tough one !

Nice one.

Ken Craft indeed, I knew I had already seen such a deep lateral line on another lure. Just couldn't place it.

I guess you can post a new one.

T-rig reply :

Ok, here we go.

T-rig reply :

I forgot to mention, it's another japanese bait.

MaxDal reply :

Aaah this one is easier, see.

Water Land - BattleWave.

Of course that's sort of a Jitterbug knock-off too.

So here's the next one.

and this one is not Japanese, for crying out loud.

Jimzee reply :

Bagley's Fat Cat?

MaxDal reply :

There you go .... that was a quick one !

Bravo ... Ok that was a bagley.

What's funny is that if you play the same game in france, people are more likely to know only japanese lures and will have a hard time identifying a Bagley, which sucks to my opinion.

Anyway, your turn.

Jimzee reply :

Here's an easy one guys, from my personal collection.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Is it a WEC E1?

Jimzee reply :

It is a WEC, not the E1. You're close!! The name is actually on the bait itself if you look hard enough.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Sweet Pea?

Jimzee reply :

Think one size bigger.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

LOL E2?

Jimzee reply :

Now think one size smaller. Here's a hint, this one is a little harder to find and usually brings a premium on Ebay between $30-$40. This model shown was made in 2005 and will not be found as easy as the rest. The Natural said he wouldn't sell his for $100 if someone offered it to him.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Crap, I dunno. 1.5?

The Mutt?

Jimzee reply :

Do a Ebay search on completed listings for zoom crankbait. Someone got a great deal on one for around $18.

Jimzee reply :

Alright guys, no other guesses I will give it up. It is a WEC Wobbler in chocolate shad color. Getting harder to find too.

Back to Japan for this topwater bait from my collection.

Bass XL reply :

Now that is one cool topwater!

MODERATORS ! Feel free to delete this topic if there's already such a quizz in the forum.
One guy post a picture of a lure (he's got, or a picture he found)... then the rest of us have to identify it (usually only the brand and the name of the lure) !

Yeah, very similar to the Rat Fink, but those eyes are definitely not bagley, unless it was modified...

Here is the explanation!

http://www.doradotriada.pl/en/index.php?site=product&subprod=110

Such special lure, it can take half a round under the water if you twitch it!

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

If you like the idea of a floating, dying (on it's side) bait, check out the crippled shad by Renosky. Somewhat cheap, hooks will need to be switched but this is a DEADLY twitch bait.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Another side floater, any guesses? makes a DEADLY twitch bait!! (Once you change the cheap hooks)

B-Ass-Mad reply :

Cristalina Crippled Shad

MaxDal reply :

Ok guys I don't want to be the one that puts a damper on everything.

So let's prevent this thread from straying apart too soo.

One of the key rules of the game is that we can not post pictures whenever we'd like to. We have to find the name of the previously posted "unknown" lure.

Rule 3 : The one who finds the lure, posts the next picture

And it seems to me, nobody found the name of the lure Rumbal posted. It sure is a though one, but we have to find it to carry on !

Let's start over, guys ! 8-)

so...i think that it is lavrax's turn

just my two cents

Very true indeed Dumbdog11 !

I hadn't noticed it, so thanks for you two cents.

Lavrax, it is your turn.

nacsa reply :

Another question.

A softbait

MaxDal reply :

Nacsa ... :

Be sure to read the rules.

Nice softbait tough, but there is also a "Softbait Quizz".

You might want to look for it in the forum.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

At this point, what lure exactly are we trying to figure out? The Grass Rat looking one?

MaxDal reply :

Hi John,

Well Lavrax was the last one to won regularly with the Crazy Craddle (Evergreen), posted by Daniel (T-Rig). So we are basically waiting for Lavrax to put a new one on display. I sent him a PM this morning.

I feel it's funnier to abide by the rules, if not well ..every body's gonna post a pic and the quizz will be dead.

Of course, if I am the only one who thinks so, we can change the rules.

We all live in a free country

Avalonjohn44 reply :

No, that's cool, I was just confused on where we were currently...

Lavrax reply :

hey guys...totally forgotten about the quiz

here one for you:

@Vyron: you have no case 8-)

like there is any difference between Duel Aile Magnet SB and Yo Zuri mag popper

i would expect more from a "fishing consultant"

MaxDal reply :

Vyron has a point here !

Duel = Yo Zuri

and Aile Magnet SB = Mag Popper.

The only relevant difference between our two posts being that mine was the first one ;D .

Ok, so here's a new one !

Lavrax reply :

Vyron has no case, because I SHOWED HIM the lure before posting it in the forum ..So there was no 'fair play' here thus he has no case 8-)

nice teaser , i dont know this one

MaxDal reply :

;D ;D ! Oh come on I just added SB to my original post.

But honnestly, if you're french and you don't know this one, well you can as well ask for asylum in another country

It's a famous lure for Seabass fishing.

And you're right, the next one is a teaser.

rwf56 reply :

Max your bait is a Bill Norman front Runner .

MaxDal reply :

Ok I can accept that !

Mine is actually a War Eagle Front Runner, but they look exactly the same. I don't know, there might be a business relation betw. Bill Norman and War Eagle.

You're next ! 8-)

rwf56 reply :

A clue , it's made in the U.S in the 70's .

Is there no guesses ? Some one let me know if I need to put the name on it and try again . ?? RWF56

frogtog reply :

Top water bait. Am I wright!!!

rwf56 reply :

Yes it is a Top Water bait , you have a guess as to it's name and who made it ?

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I'll take a stab... Phillips Crippled Killer?

rwf56 reply :

Appreciate the guess , but that's not it .

rwf56 reply :

Hope this alright , since there has not been much guessing on this bait .

Let's surrender and try another .

This bait was made by Red River Baits . Their Co. was in Alexandria , La.

They were in buisness in the 60's till? The boxes I have , don't have a zip code . The co. also was the first to make the original Rattle Trap . Yes Bill Lewis was a part Owner of Red River Baits .

Who made this one ??? Should be easier ...

Shadrac reply :

I think that's a Heddon black shore minnow pattern-

the lure was a small sinking spook but I don't know its exact name

Shadrac

rwf56 reply :

Hi Shadrac ; I think that is close enough . It's a Heddon Tiny Spook . I believe it's your turn .

Shadrac reply :

lets try this one

rwf56 reply :

Really don't want to to , but it's too easy . Weber Shadrac ?

Shadrac reply :

of course it is

but with all the younger folks on the BF forums - not sure too many have ever seen one- it was my dad's favorite top water bait for smallmouths

I have learned that there was a second manufacturer of Shadracs

from Texas

your turn.

rwf56 reply :

This one maybe a tough one . It's fairly old and was not widely sold .

Good luck

FivePoundBluegill reply :

Heres a tough one!

Shadrac reply :

Roland Martin bobble head bait

rwf56 reply :

Sorry not a Roland Martin .

Fivepoundbluegill , lol

rwf56 reply :

OK , no guesses . The bait is called "The Wind-Up Plug" . Was made in Alabama and never really took off . It has a rubber band in it and when you retrive it would wind up . Let it stop and sit it would go backwards in the water .

Here is an easier one .

I am sorry to all that has participated to this thread, but i lack the computer skills to post a pic. If someone has been wanting to put their pic in but never guessed correctly, please feel free to do so now. :-/

shorefisher reply :

Detroit here's the easy way:

Find the pic on any website you want.

Right-click (right mouse button) on the pic and select properties.

Copy the full location i.e.

http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/10/70/7754_1.JPG

You do this by carefully selecting the full line as above and then right-clicking again on your selection and choosing Copy.

Then when you're posting here on bassresource click the third button on the top row from the left on the actual post screen. The one that looks like a little postcard and says "Insert Image" when you mouse hover over it. It will post a an img and a /img surrounded by brackets and you need to paste the location string in between the img and the /img brackets. Once you click Post it will appear like this:

You can do it! Let me know if you have trouble.

Sorry but I can't do it for the moment - I registered myself 2 days ago and it seems I will be able to post an image only after 10 messages; due to the fact that I do not intend to send some messages just to reach # 10 I will say ,,pass,, for now. So I will let this task for you as long as you was the winner before me. Thanks.
