patrick reif Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Many years ago I bought a plug from a back country store. I can not remember the name of the bait or the company that produced it. I do remember it was made in Louisiana. It was about 2.5"-3" long, had a cupped nose like a Pop-R, 2 notches cut along the body bilaterally about 1/4" deep, and a prop on the tail. I caught hundreds of smallies on this thing until I lost it squirrel fishing the tree tops. Does anyone remember this bait, and what was it?

bluetickhound Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm sure this isn't it but it might be a suitable replacement... http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboard/fishing_tactics/message.html?message_id=315070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN-BROWNFISH Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Sounds like a Johnny Rattler to me but I think they may have been made in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN-BROWNFISH Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Actually the last bait listed on bluetickhound's link is the bait I was talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick reif Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Actually the last bait listed on bluetickhound's link is the bait I was talking about... That was the bait for sure. I had the smaller two hooked version though. I think I may go buy a dowel rod and try to make it with a pocket knife, orbit sander, spray paint and some DT2. As rough as it'll look, it'll likely catch fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
