Does anyone remember Critter Bait jigs? KC Metro area?

[Fishes in trees]

This week while I was wasting time in my fishing shed - I had determined that it was too hot and too windy for me to go fishing, I was digging around in my cache of unused baits and I found a couple of Critter Bait jigs.  They were a fairly unique design - designed to be weedless, but your weed guard was whatever soft plastic you decided  to use as a trailer.  I found some of the packaging they were shipped in.   The baits were made in Olathe, Ks.  The web site listed on the pack doesn't come up and there isn't any phone number.    Just wondering if any of the guys in the KC Metro area remember or know about these baits - what happened to the guys who made them, etc.  They were a very unique bait and I kind think it would be worth trying again to market them.   I know they worked for me, and I used them until I got down to my last 2 - which is how they ended up in one of my plastic totes of old tackle.  I'm particularly interested in their swim jig design - with at the time I think they called their swimming grub jig head.   Anyway, just a thought and hopefully someone out there in the KC Metro area knows something about this old lure company.

There's a guy that fishes La Cygne quite a bit with a decal on his truck. Not sure if he's the guy that made them or not.

 

They do sound like the trashmaster jig. I made a couple jigs like that but haven't ever used them a lot.

On further review, the Trashmaster jig seems like the Critter bait jig with the concept refined.

The old critter bait jig has a fixed place to attach the soft plastic near the head, the hitch hiker clip on the trash master jig seems more flexible.   I've got several boxes of old jigs that I can repurpose to test this concept.
