The SK Spence Scout. Poes had a version too.  Bring it back.

Rebel Wee R.  I loved those little dudes. The models with cross hatch finishes were my favorites:

The YUM Zellamander.  I have less than 20 left. It is my smallmouth Carolina rig killer.  

You could make a silicon mold of them and make your own.

Excalibur Fat Free shad isnt particularly incredible but it was my first crankbait fish. Still have it, havent used it in years though. 

 

I feel like bass stuff got it fairly good in that not too much good stuff gets the axe and the stuff that does theres usually something better that was developed. In contrast legendary salmon lures/colors seem to be dwindling every year, most likely due to buyouts of the companies paired with the relatively small regional areas were theyre used=less volume than bass lures=less incentive for big fishing to produce.

Luhr Jensen Sugar Shad was a fav at the time

I find some of these occasionally at fishing flea markets around here.

Anyone has a Jackal DD79 jerkbaits in natural colors they want to trade?

I have one, but haven't ever thrown it.  Are you using it in early prespawn?  How deep does it get?  Bill is huge!

Let me see what I have if you are looking for any.

Anytime I need a deeper diving jerkbait usually in spring.  Bait dives deeper than the LC Pointer 78dd that I normally use.

Looking @ some of the Sugar Shad via EBay right now>

Which colors and weights were most productive?

 

Thanks

@ReggieT, you can’t go wrong with chrome blue back or chrome black back. White with red eye was my favorite

Awesome! BTW...were they as effective as the Speed Trap?

I think a lipped crankbait is a totally different bait than their non-lipped cousins. I find each has it's own place in different waters. I can fish a lipless crank year round but around here by mid to late June when the weeds grow in, the lipped version gets put away. For me anyway. Both are great lures.

I have blue and chrome in both sizes if anyone wants. I have some Ed Moore ones, but those are staying with me until the end. I could throw a Super Spot, a trap, and one of the quick sinking loud ones exclusivelly, and be happy, though I own at least 2 of pretty much everyone made. There are a couple of house brand ones, that are as good or better than anything else me thinks.

Thank you @Deleted account, appreciate that. I really have nothing to trade you for them, most of my gear is salt gear now. Hoping to get back to bass fishing this year tho. 
 

Appreciate the offer tho

Hmm...I might be a prospect for those blue and chrome. Do you have any decent pics, and what price point?
