Anyone know what these lures were called or who makes them?

Jack, I did some looking and the best I can come up with right now is a short list of possibles:

Cajun Thunder/Thunder Spin
Sold by www.techetackle.com
Mango Spinnerbaits
Redfish Magic
Bass Baby

Then for some reason I was thinking Blue Fox or some company like them.

I should know this. However, there were a few smaller companies that made them back then to and still do. I am not positive, because it could be a few different ones, but I think it might be a Lunker Lure. They made something real close to that. Also, it could be a Mann's bait. They made something that was derived from the kick-tail shad spinner thingy they made that didn't have the spinner arm on it. Too, Strike king made one but the only thing I can come up with is Shadalac but I don't think that is correct. It was around the time they first came out with the quad-shad spinnerbait. Another one it could be is a Stanley spinnerbait product but the hardware looks more like strike king. Lucky Craft amde something like that I think one year and that was it.

Hahaha, dunno!? I still think it's a Lunker Lure or a mann's but I cant spit the model out, Arrrrgh  :P  :hunter

First thing I thought too was Strike King.   Curley at work has this lure and wanted to see if I could find out more about it and if you could still buy it.  He wanted a heavier one.

The Lunker Lure version was called a Flash Tail ...spinnerbait/buzzbait(I have a copied pic to compare bodies but is real small. They also made a crappie version. The Mann's I think was kick tail or Tailkicker ?? but I have found absolutely nothing on it ! The Lucky Craft was a buzzbait instead of a spinner I think, and I think the still make it.

Here's the buzzbait (Lunker Lure)


I'll post th spinnerbait once I find it again. I don't think the single pic I found of it is of a double willow. But if the body arrangement is the same .....

This is the Lucky Craft(Buzzbait). It came out in 2003-2004. Compare the body of the bait, although I dont think it's the same.

Anyone remember the Lunker Lure Rattleback spinnerbait? It had a single split narrow blade on it and you could put a tubebait on it, your choice. I have one of those hanging in my toolbox at work...never caught a fish on it  ;D

Orniment  ;D

I sure miss the Lunker Lure of yesteryear!  :'( :'( :'(
