Unknown (For The Most Part) Stickbait Lures -- What Can You Tell Me?

Featured Replies

Hi Folks,

 

Over the years I've acquired lures that I like to look at.  I don't necessarily fish 'em, but they set around.  I don't always know what they are.

 

I was replacing a couple jerkbaits I lost while fishing yesterday, and had occasion to get into the larger tackle box draw in which I store my extras.

 

I got most of these lures from estate sales etc; some appear unused.  I'd like to know what they are.  Any info is appreciated!

This says Smithwick Rogue, suspending.  It's 5.5" long.  I recall hearing about these while growing up and is probably why I grabbed it.

This is a jointed lure with no writing anyplace.  It appears to be well-made.  6" long with the bill.

Also jointed.  6.5" long with the bill.  Well-made.  Marker on the bill says "24-28".

Jointed shad-type lure, about 4.5" long.  Lighter, but decent construction.  Oval ring, not round; likely why I didn't remove it.

About 4" long.  Probably Chinese; doesn't feel like quality and there's some overspray on the bill.

 

Any thoughts, guys?

 

Thanks,

First one is a Smithwick Rogue. 

 

Next 3 are all Cabela's Fisherman Series Jointed Walleye Runners, look like the smaller size.

 

Last one I'd guess is a custom painted hologram blank or maybe one of the KO baits sold by tackle supply companies like a Jann's Netcraft Springer 100.
