Can anyone tell me who manufactured this ?

It is the Chikara model. Looks like you have the 300 size ( it says online it came in 4 models and 16 colors). I have several of those somewhere in that 300 size and color that’s yet to touch water. How are you doing with it?

Well I was doing quite well until I lost it……..?

It was the medium bill, I think dives to 8ft or so. I caught a monster smallie on it the night before.

 

Thank You Sir!

Having trouble locating these baits. Does anyone know of a source that has them in stock or a very similar replacement??

Once commonly found at BPS or even Walmart, I think they were discontinued bout 5 years ago. I do see them come up on eBay occasionally. That’s your best bet.

I haven’t seen these in awhile.  I think GYCB is getting out of the crankbait business but don't hold me to that.  I would try ebay.

GYCB used to make a couple decent harbaits.  They had JBs called Tenku's (I think that's the right spelling)  The colors were limited but the action was good and they caught fish.  I wound up losing the 3 I had and it wasn't easy trying to find them.  The last place that had any kind of substantial amount of GYCB hard baits without a crazy markup was dicks website and that was about 2 years ago.  I think they had a bit of quality control issue as well because a few of the baits I had leaked pretty much out of the box so beware of that.
