mark poulson Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Forgive a question from left field, but where in the world did "Spotted Ape" come from? I can't see an ape in that lure. I have sold a lot of the "Nip-I-Didde" .. "Spotted Ape" I would say that in my territory of NWF and Extreme S Central AL that 75 % of my "Nip-I-Didde" sales were the "Spotted Ape" some did reference it as "Shad" (never could see a shad in that color combo) as the SH was listed as Shad Color. OK ... U R up again KC JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Where Did The Name "Spotted Ape" Come From ?? Maybe some one knows ... where did the name for a lot of other lures and colors come from ?? KC that is going to be a tough one unless U R in the part of the country that uses a lot of spoons .. Looking to see what it is. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
