Heron Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Im looking for a crankbait type lure with a simple red & white paint job. Im not finding it. Do they not make these anymore? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 18, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 18, 2015 Might check some saltwater bait companies, it's a very popular color in the salt it seems like. Quote

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 You can still get the venerable Jitterbug in red head/white body. 1 Quote

Super User Choporoz Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 Funny to think about....It seems like back in the '60's, three or four out of five of my father's and grandfather's bass lures were red and white.....Bass Oreno's, Creek Chubs, Jitterbugs, Daredevils, etc. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 Back in the day, the "redhead" as it was called (white plug, red head) was the most popular color scheme for plugs. And today 'red & white' plugs are hard to find?? Sends a pretty clear message about the importance of color Roger 1 Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 I very often buy white with a red head, 2 brands off the top of my head are Mirrorlure and Bomber, not sure I've noticed a crankbait. Saltwater lures but I sometimes use them in freshwater, they catch fish as well as any other color. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 I have several older lures in the white/red scheme, but I haven't seen any in the stores in a long time. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 If you can't find it then make it. It shouldn't be very hard to duplicate. Quote

Super User WRB Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 A quick search brings up several lures with red head white or today's clown color red head silver body. Bill Lewis, Rat l trap Bomber, model A Lucky strike, various lures Smithwick, Rogue MirrOLure I am sure there are several more. Tom Quote

Tom Thanks Tom, I appreciate you looking...but the "clown" colors were not what I had in mind. Im sure theyre fine, but Im looking for Red & bone White. Quote

Super User Sam Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 I have two old antique red and white lures so they were in use a long, long time ago. So red and white combos are nothing new. Quote

Blues19 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Walmart had some white bomber square bills for really cheap, last time I went. You could sharpie whatever you wanted red... Quote

Im sure theyre fine, but Im looking for Red & bone White.There are some (MirrOLure and Bomber model A) have the old style red head with white body lure, not bone white. You need to look at the original lure company catalogs or call the companies, not bass fishing online retailers. Clown works and sells and for that reason more lures are available in that color; red head silver body. Otherwise you need to buy all white and spray the head red or buy vintage lures and upgrade the hooks.Best I am willing to do without listing the lure and color number for you.

Dogmatic Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Lots of options, try eBay, search "crankbaits", a lot of no name(made in China) and other baits that fit your description. Quote
