Lure Identification help needed

Featured Replies

I have a couple of old lures that I need Identified. One looks like it may be wood and the other looks to be molded.

Not a clue - never seen anything even similar - very cool looking lures though.  I'd never fish them, they belong in a display box somewhere

Poe's Locomotion Lures

Thank you Harold. Would the fact the front hook is a double and rear hook a treble indicate age. possibly early model lures?

Poe's Plugs were made from cedar wood in NorCal in the late 60's to early 80's before being sold to Yacamha Tackle co. The Loco Motion lure wasn't continued after the Poe co was sold. The double hook was probably the original design to miss the belly prop.

Poe's are such an icon in the Delta area they have a tournament named after the lures.

The double hook was used on the front because of the prop in the belly. I remember them being sold in the 60's and 70's, but not so sure about the 80's.

Thanks very much for the info. Very interesting to learn about the older tackle.
