m.roach Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 There was an old lure that I absolutely loved. It caught my biggest bass 8 1/2 pounds and also accounted for numerous other 5+ pounders. Unfortunately, I lost it to a tree 3 years ago and have never found one similar since. It was a jointed jerkbait, similar to a rapala jointed. I guess it was about 10 years old and made out of plastic. The paint was all worn off, but it was silver with a blue back. The difference between this one and a rapala jointed was that it had a looser joint and swam in a S pattern. My best guess would be that it was a rebel.. but I'm not too sure. It also was a shallow lure, running no deeper than 1 foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie525 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 i would geuss a rebel too, could you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottkehl1282 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I was going to say a cordell jointed redfin until you said it didnt even run a foot deep. I dont know, probably a rebel wakebait or something like that, but look at the red fins and see if thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.roach Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Sorry about the pic.. I don't have one. Like I said, I lost the lure and am just trying to go by memory what it was. I personally thought it was a rebel, but I thought the joint was more in the middle instead of the rear. I'll check out the cordell and see if that was it.

Matt Moreau Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 probably the Rebel Fastracs; http://www.mexfish.com/apgs/rebels/rebels.htm How long was it...any more details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Great site LKN4DDB. Ordered alot of fastracs from Gene for Baja. He gets the right colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.roach Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It wasn't a fastrac... looking at the mexfish website of the fastracs, it looked similar to the surface version but the joint was more in the middle. I'm starting to think it was a rebel jointed floating minnow. So if anyone can describe the action/swimming motion of a jointed floating minnow, I would be able to tell if that was it.
