GRiver Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 This is a yard sale find….one has rhinestones for eye and some on the belly, both are wood 1 Quote
The Baron Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 The second is a Paw Paw Plenty Sparkle (c. 1950's) which were made in Michigan. They're similar enough maybe both are by Paw Paw but I was googling through photos and couldn't find an exact match for the first one. Both are a very nice find, look to be in great shape - possibly repainted? They'll look great in a collection, and I'll bet they get bit too if you wanted to throw them. https://finandflame.com/paw-paw-plenty-sparkle-lure/ https://www.mybaitshop.com/collections/paw-paw 1 1 Quote
rboat Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 That first one is a Hubs Chub Rattalure in frog color. The earlier ones were made by other manufacturers. 1 1 Quote
fin Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 What are those 5 things on the bottom of the second one? Are those screw heads? Edit: Nevermind, I see they are diamonds now. lol 1 Quote
Timpson Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 I know that this doesn't identify the lure but I noticed your poster . And I've got the same one except for kentucky in my fishing room. 3 Quote
GRiver Posted April 23, 2024 Author Posted April 23, 2024 Thank you @The Baron and @rboat for identifying the lures, they look to be original. I bought a Plano box and had a bunch of lures…. A few old Rapala’s jointed made of wood, one says “ made in Ireland”…. A few “made in Finland”, never knew they where made in in Ireland too. @fin, yes there diamonds, the eyes too…. Been calling it my “Elvis lure”. @Timpsonyep it is on the wall of my work shop / shed with a little work bench. Mine is of Florida Thanks everyone for your replies 1 Quote
river-rat Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 Actually, the first one shown is a Johnny Rattler. It's very similiar to a Hub's Chub Rattalur, both of which are some of my favorite topwater lures. I own quite a few of each one. 1 1 Quote
