cullin8s Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I don't know what it is, but I like the wire on the bottom of the lip to help it go around cover, very cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 It's a True Temper Speed Shad, manufactured in Cleveland. I believe around the forties. I read somewhere that the black/white is less common, but these lures still seem fairly abundant. Hope this helps, Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin70 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Man, I love old lures. Please tell me he's not going to repaint that beautiful thing. I would put it in a glass case and put it on my mantle. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 That is a TrueTemper Speed Shad but I do not ever remember seeing one that color. Just clean it up and Mount It .... Bomber made them later but that is one of the True Temper Models. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
