|
 Memory failure here... There is a lure maker (not mass producer) that makes these swimming plugs that (for lack of a better explanation).. are almost round... like a sphere. They have a lip and are like a crankbait only no elongated body. I think the maker is an east coast smaller company maybe even located in New England? I saw them advertised on one of the NE saltwater sites geared towards NE fishing. They were kind of pricey if I remember correctly. They were nicely painted in MANY typical salty patterns and colors. Anybody remember these chubby looking swimmer plugs??? Thanks in advance for any help. tjd |

Any idea what decade these are from? I don't know much about vintage lures, but I've been selling a few from the 1930's that sort of match your description. Wooden lures were a lot rounder in style than they are now - check out the Creek Chub dinger/dingbat & the Pfleuger globe.

Okay thanks T.K., I'll check the CreekChub line and keep searching the web... btw, do you have a pet turtle??
These were actually newly made lures, although they could be based on an old design. Maybe less spherical than I described... Perhaps stubby is a better description of them and they were imitating baby bunker, baby alewives, etc. ... definitely wood body and lipped though.
thanks again...tjd |

I named my dinghy "Dinghbat" after finding an old Creek Chub dingbat from the 30's in an old tackle box. It's a fat, short wooden lure with a metal lip - possibly the cutest lure I've seen in my life.
Yes, I have a gulf coast box turtle named Koopa.
