quack1 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I found this crankbait hanging in a bush while duck hunting last fall. This summer I found that smallmouth bass can't stop biting it. In the event I break it off and lose it, I'd like to know what company made it and if it's still being manufactured. I checked fairly recent catalogs and didn't find anything. Would anybody know what company manufactured it? Thanks. Quote
BASS302 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Looks similar to a fenwick methods darting bait. 1 Quote
JediAmoeba Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Yeah, looks like a Fenwick Misfit lure. http://www.heartlandoutdoors.com/meandering/story/misfit_lure_fenwick_topwater 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 2, 2019 Super User Posted September 2, 2019 It's not a crankbait, it looks like Bagley Rattling Twitcher that pre dates LC Sammy, top water walking lure. Twitches in good condition are $20-$25. Tom Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted September 2, 2019 Super User Posted September 2, 2019 I have a bunch of these, it is a Yo-Zuri Banana Boat. That color is the Japanese version made by Duel called the Fuze Banana Boat. These are killer topwater baits, similar to a Sammy but thinner with a different walking action. I use them for smallmouth when the water is calm and they will flat out catch fish. When they were being discontinued I bought 2 dozen to make sure I'd always have them and at $1.99 each how could I not buy that many? 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted September 2, 2019 Super User Posted September 2, 2019 Yo-Zuri is my guess. Quote

deadadrift89 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 If you ever can't find these and want to try something different a Lucky Craft Sammy 100 has put many smallies in the boat for me Quote
