Robbie Roberson Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hey guys, I just wondered if I am missing an area where we could just chat about hard baits in general ? I do realize this is a "making" forum but I just bought one I would like for you to see and help me identify if possible. I have it narrowed down and am pretty sure it is a prototype lure. Thanks.

RayburnGuy Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 A lot of folks use the Hard Baits forum to identify lures and I don't think there's ever been a problem. The Docks is used a lot for fishing related things that don't quite fit into any of the other forums. This might be an appropriate place for fishing related "chit chat".

Travis Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would see it as fair game for hard baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Roberson Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks, let me give this a shot. Just bought a bait that looks wood of some type. It says "Basso" under the lip with the letters "JWF" on the body underneath all wrote with looks to be a black felt marker. It also has this, "103X" under lip and "LTD" under bill. It is a round body looks to be balsa. The only thing I have found that comes close is possibly a Basso lure proto made by Wilson Frasier. I just don't know if his first intitial is "J". Any help identifying this bait would be appreciated. I will probably keep this one for my collection. Thanks, Robbie Roberson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN-BROWNFISH Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I also have a bait that I believe is made by the same person. My lure is a jerk bait, similar paint job and markings. If you do a search on BASS O Lures you will find a site that talks about Wilson Frazier who I believe built that bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Roberson Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks everyone, that is what I think it is. I just can't find anything that tells his first name. I think it is a Frasier bait. Appreciate all the input. Robbie Roberson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 From the looks of how the bait is painted and how the lip is installed.... I would say that the lure is a foam plug. Davey Hite and a friend use to make a lure just like that made out of foam. I repaired and repainted a few for a client. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
