Tuna Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Recently visited a guy that kayaks many small lakes and ponds in eastern Iowa. His hobby is collecting washed up or snagged baits. He had 3 I hadn't seen before. Looking for help to identify. He sent me this photo. Thanks to any who help. Tuna Top Left: He said it has a scratched up word on it, I think it's a Chatterbait. Middle Left: Maybe a Rapala due to the rear treble design? Bottom Left: The bone colored lure has a flexible rear body. Right: The red craw seems familiar and somewhat recent in manufacture.

alsworms Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I have stared at this picture for at least 30 minutes and I have come to this conclusion....... I thought I knew lures...... I thought wrong....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 alsworms: I believe it's Japanese made. I asked the guy for close-ups including lip, body, and blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Has "Poland" on the lip. I'm thinking a Salmo bladed crank. Looked through 2019-2021 catalogs, no dice. Very similar to a Nishine Chippawa, but with a different body style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Poland??) Blade may have been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Great glowing write up on the flub dub. Wonder why if they are so great I never heard of them. Guess we are just backwards in Nebraska and Kansas. LOl, Arne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
