anyone know what this is? found along the river,body is made of foam rubber

I would imagine that would be an older style of top water bait.

Have no clue who makes it or what the name of the lure is but cool find Bruuce Bet it's a real fish catcher, or at least was!

Don't know it, but very cool looking lure. I

I've found lures too on the riverbanks or lakes but they were common ones.

Interesting!
I've never seen a lure like that one, even in catalogs.

I never have either, hoping to put a name to it,seems well made..got a whole box full of stuff found around here some in new condition.pickens got real slow around the invent of braided line tho,not seeing half as much now,lol .I'm actually tryin to sell this stuff on ottawa used ,check out the old umco box.

That's a "whats-a-ma-call-it" I believe.

keep this lures bud.

you never what it could worth.

some older lures are worth up to 12 000$ US...

antique lures.

old or rare lures.

that is why sometime we see had.we buy old lures..ho ya they guive nothing for it and they sell like like a load off$$ in return.

so sometime lures like that could worth a lot.

first time i see it...cool.


but could still be worth 50cents...

good luck on your researche.

Joco is right -- there is big money in old lures. Heddon was big into props on some of their lures many moons ago. Check out this website for a starter. If you send the guy a pic he may even be able to identify it for you. Cheers

or this one... if you send them a pic they will appraise it

Hey Guy's this I am pretty sure is a Burke Flexo Plug...about 20 maybe 25 years old I think. Probably worth about 97 cents in Canadian $$$.

They had a series of them including a Popper and another weird shape if I remember right. They were really weedless, but they were also fishless due to the style of heavy weed guard.

Very seldom are old lures worth big $$$ unless you hit a guy who really, really wants the one you happen to have, or needs a certain colour/size to complete a set...then the $$$ can get up there. That comes from a buddy who has the largest private collection in Canada.

BIG JIM...out'

Sage advice Jim!

All to often some guy on Used Ottawa finds an old tackle box or something and instantly assumes its worth alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$

I told a guy once I'd give him $1-$3 a piece for some Rapala's he had from the late 80's early 90's......

Get this! He thought they were worth $15-$30 a piece!

Needless to say not many sales that day...................

the fishless flutter
