LaPala Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Been scratching my head too Nathan but Rapala has a Team Esko by Lauri Rapala which is very similar but look carefully, this one has 2 belly hooks. Vicious lure lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Balsa Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Next guess will be a vintage Salmo lure. Made in Poland, just across the Baltic Sea form Sweden. Same style lips as the Frisky and the Executor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRANKBAIT Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 This has potential for the next game show. I can see Vanna White holding up a lure to be guessed. Contestants sitting above a dunk tank full of bass. Our wives with a basket full of baseballs poised to throw at the target with each wrong answer.

LaPala Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 LOL Crankbait, don't you think the wives casting lures at the wrong answer be more appropriate? Okay, we get the concession of barbless hooks Okay, I am asking for the manufacturer on this one. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcDano Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't own any of his baits, however, I would like to. They are all nice in my opinion. Small wood bait from the mid-west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'm guessing a Maskita Bait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hell I don't know what it is!! I figured someone would come along and tell us. This after all, is a fact finding mission. Just kidding!!! No it is not a Maskita bait. Here is a clue it was made in southern Missouri! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I am all for moving on to another lure I will post the I.D. and someone else can post a new bait to ponder! If you all are game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
