Help Identify Lure ?

Featured Replies

Lost one in a recent trip on a kayak. Lost pole and lure during my trip so trying to replace but don't k ow make and model of it.

Think it's ol Ben's tor max bit don't know if it fits the age. Bought them 10 years ago and don't know if the company made a perch colored one like thisIMG955328_zpse33jzrzj.jpg

There is no markings anywhere. Not on body or prop. I just happen to have bought 3 when I bought them year's ago. A old habbit my father fought me when I use to tournament fish. If you k ow it's a good lure and they work always buy a few extras.

Almost looks like a Heddon Torpedo

It's not a torpedo. They are marked on the prop. There plastic as well. Bit works a lot better then the cheaper torpedoes.

I think the old baker had prop on front and back and had a tapered body design.

Im pretty sure they also had a single prop in the back with a very similar body.

Positive it's not a heddon. They stamped there prop with the name on it. It also is more bent backwards. And this is about .25.inches longer then a baby torpedo. I know I can rule out heddon.

As for the baker I'll try to do research on that and see what I can find.

What ever they are it's a copy of a torpedo

Heddon makes a teeny, a tiny, a baby, & a magnum torpedo!

Just try some heddon torpedo's they should work good too, I've got a few I've caught fish on but I'm not a huge fan of propbaits.

I agree its a copy of a torpedo but these are wood framed so the action is different then a standard torpedo which is why I'm trying to find more of them. Sadly I don't remember where I bought them from. Something tells me I bought it at a pro bass store in lake Cumberland so it's very possiable its homemade. This one berly stays afloat and makes a good pop as I twitch it. Close to a pop r noise just about. Being it's wood and not plastic. Also color scheme I've not seen one like it yet.

And they have it but not painted so we're getting off topic slightly..

Anyone know what make and the name of the bait is so j can find them on eBay ?

  • Super User

Good look with that! ;)

looks similar to the Luhr Jensen Woodchopper and one of their lures look like that I can't think of the name..It is possibly an old bill Norman Ratler with prop, but I love the wood topwaters with props as well.
