ItsMillerTyme Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Hello, I had the pleasure recently of going through some of my grandfather's old fishing gear that was found in a storage container. He was a avid fisherman from the 1960s-2000s and also made and sold a lot of baits (mostly grubs) to shops around the East TN area. When he passed in 2013 most of his massive collection was sold or given away to family but because I was living across the country, so I didn't get to be there. I used to fish a lot when I was younger and now that I live back near my family and I have a young son I have started getting back into it over the last 6-8 months, so I was thrilled to be able to take some things, with my grandmother's permission, from the stash she found. Most of it was just old school soft plastics and grubs that he had poured himself but I found some older unopened things and a slick looking lure that I am not sure of the specifics on (Picture below). Would love some help identifying the lure from anyone with more knowledge than myself. Thank you. Quote
detroit1 Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 I'm thinking a L&S Mirrolure (usually saltwater baits) with different trebles on it. 1 Quote
MAN Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 The pattern and holo suggest L&S Mirrolure. I also have a Cisco Kid that kinda resembles that as well. Quote
SkippinJimmy Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Quick way to do an image search: - Save the photo to your library - Open Google and on the right side of the search bar there is an image of a microphone and a camera. - Click on the camera, click upload a file and choose the photo you saved to your photo library. Short answer…like the others said above, it is a Mirrolure. 1 Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Its a mirrolure 1000%, gen 3 52MR sinking twitchbait It could be a 51MR, which is a slower sinking version, but many more 52s around. 16 hours ago, detroit1 said: I'm thinking a L&S Mirrolure (usually saltwater baits) with different trebles on it. Nah, theyre sock. They started putting red trebles on certain catch 2ks and other baits with that finish. You have to use a flathead to swap the hook out, kinds a pain in the neck and gives the fish leverage. That lure is responsible for more blind sea trout than anything else i can think of. ML started selling single hook kits for them. 2 Quote
