RayburnGuy Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 After searching for answers about the Norman bait in my last post I got to thinking about some other lures that had undergone name changes. Does anyone remember what the original name of the Zara Spook was? And what it was made out of? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass1951 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 The original wood version, the Zaragossa, was made in the 1920s for fishing in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) You and me both gbass. And in my case not nearly as pretty. Anyone else have any interesting tidbits about lures and their origins, oddities, history, etc?

JSC Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Zaragossa ... as I understand it was the redlight District in P cola. and because of the walk the dog action (tail wagging) thus the name ..... Thats the story I heard. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I must be suffering from old timers I plum forgot all about that until I read the Zaragossa name. Now where did I leave that darn car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) @ JSC Had not heard that. Pretty interesting. I'll bet there are quite a few interesting stories about how baits got their names. @ toadfrog lmao..............You are one of a kind Toadfrog. If your like me it won't be long before you'll be able to hide your own Easter eggs. Ben Edited September 12, 2011 by RayburnGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
