Identify this lure

Featured Replies

Can someone help me identifiy this vintage lure?  I found it at an estate sale.  It came in a HICO lure box No. VR5412.  The "R" is not clear and could be a different letter.  It has a front and rear propeller and is shaped like a Wounded/Injured/Crippled Minnow.  One treble hook on the side and one treble hook in the rear.  I can email photos for anyone interested in helping.  Thank you!  Allen 

Photo?

Well if WAHammer is not going to come back and post some photos of his lure, maybe he won't mind if I hijack his already existing thread for some of my own lures I would like to identify.

 

I was in a pawn shop today and did not buy the boxes these were in, but I snapped some photos and hope someone here can help identify these old lures I have never seen before because I would like to buy some new ones and give them a try. Why not?

 

This first one is kind of like a spin off of a rat'l trap with a paddletail.

This next one is a spin off of a frog type of lure shaped like a small fish complete with spinning propeller tail. There is an "LH" marking on underside, but that is it for markings.

 

It looks like a whopper plopper froggin' fish!

 

Also curious what that white spot is on the underside here. Is that a weight for balancing it out? A water release port?

 

I appreciate any help in identifying these lures. Thanks!

The first one is a Manns Pogo shad.  I don't know on the second one.

Thanks! I just found them so thanks for identifying it! I see there are many sizes to this Pogo lure.

 

Have you used them? Any good? The one I am looking at is going to cost me over $20 just for one lure. I may go back to pawn shop and buy whole box.

 

Silver and blue is one of my favorite color combinations so I might purchase this one. Looks like these have been out of production for a long time.

The second one is a Lunkerhunt Prop Sunfish. .

Awesome! Thanks! Looks like I may be going back for that box after all. I can buy the whole box for what just one of these lures will cost me off ebay.

 

I knew you guys would know. I greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
