linkoric Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Can anyone help me identify this lure? I found it in my dad's old tackle box that hasn't been touched since the late 90s. I've had no trouble identifying the other lures, but I still have no idea about this one. I remember seeing it in old Cabela's catalogs from around that time. I don't think they make it anymore. This is purely for satisfying my curiosity, but thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Doesn't look like anything I've run across in my life, but man what an UGLY lookin' lure!! (I'll bet that sucker would catch fish, though) Sorry I don't have anything more to add other than it looks like something randomly put together, but if you say you saw it in a catalog, that wouldn't surprise me either! Really interested to see if some of my fellow old timers on here have seen it. Good luck in your quest........and welcome to TU!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjs Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I think I remember a jig from Cabelas that looked like that that was called 'gravedigger'. Could be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. They still can be bought from various vendors painted on unpainted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong. Thank you. You're right, the head is called that. Now I just have to figure out the body. I remember it came with that grub lure and those little arms things. I can picture the logo in my mind, but the name escapes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanbt Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Maybe a Mister Twister SinSation that had the nose cut down? https://bass-archives.com/mister-twister-1977-catalog/ Page 15 of catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Mister Twister Sensation but it was a thing years ago and others sold it as a "Chicken foot" worm for flipping so try searching that name too. Found some still made here : fishing lure, soft plastic fishing bait, soft plastic worm, bass lure, bass bait,sensation,chicken foot bait (docirvcustombaits.com) Edited April 15, 2023 by jigmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonMinnow Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I used to own that lure. Probably still have some lying around somewhere under layers of old & forgotten lures in boxes. I find it amazing that as lure crafters we sometimes forget the old classics, opting for the newest shapes out to spend money on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I have a chicken foot hand pour mold. It's old as the hills and have no idea where it came from. The mold I have appears to be a larger version of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
