ravenlures Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I got this lure out of a old tackle box. It is red and White balsa wood 4" long 3/4" wide no markings on it . When open the hooks become weed free and when the fish bites it the upper and lower hook open to catch the fish. I looked every where and cannot find it. I know somewhere out there someone knows. Looks like a summer job to make. Wayne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 You asked "what is it"? I think it was an old awesome idea. I am shocked that it did not catch on. Let us know how it turns out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenlures Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks to D. Moore from BBC. It’s a Johnson Weedo made by St Croix Lures, Park Falls, Wisconsin 1948 in excellent condition $25-$35. Probably made of a harder wood than Balsa, they used a lot of red cedar and western cedar back then. Just a guess on the wood. Now we know. A Big Thanks To D.
