Musky Glenn Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 This is a lure I found hanging in a tree and it has turned out to be one real good lure. I have caught a bunch of bass on this lure. I lost it under a rock that I couldn't reach. Notice the lip of the fish above the lip of the lure, notice the chamber running front to back inside the lure. I was not able to identify this lure while I had it. If you have any guesses please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Did the front ball act as a weight transfer, moving to the back on the cast, and then forward on the retrieve? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Mark, the front was the rattle and the bottom moved front to back. I believe I am right on that. I believe it was 3/8 oz. about the size of a Bandit but still different. That chamber running front to back just doesn't seem to match anything that I have found. Thanks in advance.

osutodd Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Is the scale pattern molded in or painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Off the top of my head, that looks like a Japanese brand lure due to the finish, the clarity of the plastic, and the internal structure. That's as close as I can come, however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 osutodd, The scales are molded in. The paint was shot at an angle so it didn't fill in the low spots between each scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Glenn Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I appreciate all the help and ideas but so far none have shown to be the same. I spent a long time looking over wlures and alibaba lures today. In all there were over 3000 lures (not all different) that I looked at. Some were solid painted so I couldn't see the internal structure. I'll just keep looking, again thanks for all your help.

Chuck Young Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 This looks awfully close. http://www.ebay.com/itm/wLure-10-Blank-Minnow-Fishing-Lure-Bodies-2-1-4-Inch-Unpainted-Lure-UPC548P10-/191793977333?hash=item2ca7cfd7f5:g:ZSQAAOSwLzdWTHaT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Chuck Young, those look very close. Have you ever ordered from China. I'm just uncertain about that transaction. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwfleming Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 my wife and i have orders from China before....and they always have shipped and its always been what we ordered.....and sometimes more than what we ordered too....shipping takes a little bit longer to get here tho.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I have ordered some lures from China. The code on these blanks match W lure. You can get these through ebay or directly from W Lure. They themselves get their lures from several sources. Some of their stuff is very good. If you plan on selling them, you will have to keep some in stock. There are 36 that I really like and keep in stock. They change their inventory all the time for the sake of changing inventory, but you can still find some old stock on ebay. They are consistent in weight. A few come through with bad seams or with loose hangers. Most can be fixed. Shipping takes a while (20 -25 days) - they will tell you on ebay how long it takes. It has never taken longer for me to get them than what they say. I always get what I order. They are packaged well and are not banged up. But my preference is to buy from Predator, Dinger, Dakota Lakes tackle. The craftsmanship is better and you can get them sooner. There are a few other suppliers that come highly recommended. The LC ko 2.5, 1.5, 1, and .5 are far superior to W lure. They might even be better than the origional. They have the WT channel and choice of rattles.I shop these sources first.

Chuck Young Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Given your favorable review of this product, I may have to order a few of these myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Chuck, as good as this one looks, it is not the one that I was looking for. The weight transfer is missing out of the bottom slot. Outside shape is off a little. Bill is different. Still very close. Thanks for all the help.

Chuck Young Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 There is a ball in the bottom slot for weight transfer, but the chamber might be different. It barely shows on the W lure site. It is also a sinking lure. Not sure whether yours was or not. The lip does look a little narrower on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrrbt Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think this may be a Strike Pro Crankee Diver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have that lure and man it looks very similar but is a size larger. I'm probably worrying about nothing. I'm sure the result of that lure catching so many bass was due to my exceptional ability to run a crank bait. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
