Great bait, thanks for sharing Mr. Hootie!

Stike King Timber Buzz, my first buzzbait...

Interesting, where can I get one now?  Pretty cool looking!

 

Gosh, it looks like a Timber Doodle spoon joined to an old Strike King fluted spinner via an outdated looped-eye

KOOL!

Possibly could find one on eBay.

I have a BPS 1982 catalog.  It is listed as a "Grass King".  The spoon by itself was called a "Timber King".  There are also a "Buzz Spoon" (buzzbait with a spoon body), a "Timber Buzz" (in-line counter rotating 2-blades connected to spoon), and a "Timber Spin" (in-line spinner connected to spoon).  I was in college at the time so could only afford the "Timber King" ($1.74).  The "Grass King" was too expensive a whopping $1.87!  How times have changed.

I remember having the inline spinner version. Lost it to a pike in Cayuga lake decades ago.

Hootie,

how sharp is that hook?  I remember those old chrome hooks back in the day.  They'd be considered child safe today!
