MaxDal Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Nope .... yes Worden lures was also started in 1932 I think, but the two brands have nothing to do with each other, except maybe for some slight similitudes between models. I'm pretty surprised that nobody has this bait in his tacklebox .... Quote
rondef Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 The Creek Chub Bait Co It is a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish Aproximately two miles from this spot, on June 2, 1932, George W. Perry, a 19-year old farm boy, caught was to become America's most famous fish. The twenty-two pound four ounce largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoldes) exceeded the existing record by more than two pounds has has retained the world record for more than fifty years. Perry and his friend, J.E. Page, were fishing in Montgomery Lake, a slough off the Ocmulgee River, not for trophies but to bring food to the table during those days of the great depression. The fish was caught on a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish, Perry's only lure, and was 32 1/2 inches in length and 28 1/2 inches in girth. The weight and measurements were taken, recorded and notarized in Helena, Georgia and Perry's only reward was seventy-five dollars in merchandise as first prize in Field and Stream Magazine's fishing contest. The longstanding record is one of the reasons that the largemouth bass was made Georgia's Official State Fish. Montgomery Lake is today part of the Department of natural Resources' Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area. Quote
MaxDal Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Well .... a little misunderstanding here Rondef ! Indeed the world record largemouth bass was caught with a CCBO Wigglefish .... But the lure in picture is not a CCBO. The hint I was giving was that the brand was founded in 1932 (the year the WR Largemouth Bass was caught by George Washington Perry) Be sure to check the picture of the lure to find on the previous page.

MaxDal Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Rboat, I think you're on the right track ... Now you gotta find it quick, before somebody else does Quote
MaxDal Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Well .... you're right Slomoe ! You're next ! Quote
slomoe Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Probably easy but I like this one because the make is my last name. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 OK Cool! I just found out a few hours ago, after 3 months of searching and banging my head against the wall, the maker of this lure: It's a hard one (I hope, otherwise I'll feel pretty stupid if somebody gets it quickly...), and if it goes on past this time tomorrow, I'll give the answer unless ya'll don't want me to...

dumb_dog11 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 is that supposed to be a link bc there is no pic and no link? so.... Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, no guesses? I'll give you a hint then, part of the lure's name includes the word 'lure' though they spell it 'Loor'... Quote
dumb_dog11 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 my google search came up with Sven & Ole's Miracle Fishin Loors Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I was getting worried that nobody was paying attention... Sven & Ole's Miracle Fishin Loors No sir. I could not find this lure on google, but finally found it on ebay a few days ago... It was listed With a Lazy Ike lure, and the pair went for about $30... I emailed the guy that won, and he filled me in on the lure's name/history/etc... Quote
MaxDal Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 Cooper Loor by the Cooper Lure Co ..... Wasn't able to find much info about it, except that the company was located in West Huron Street in Chicago, IL. I just wonder how they swim ? Do you have one ? Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Wow, all I can say is good work. Yup, a cooper loor bubble frog. Some people called them Cooper Loopers... I got one a few months ago as part of an ebay auction, and have only just found out what it was. I think I'm gonna put it in a case... Was it the clue, or did you already know about the lure? Do you have any good links further identifying it? Oh, and it's your turn! Quote
MaxDal Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 Well I gotta say my friend Google was pretty helpfull on that one. I'm almost sure I have already seen this frog before, but I would have never been able to tell you the name if it wasn't for your clue and Google. The distribution of these baits seemed to be very limited in both time and space. Pretty confidential distribution it seems. Nice little frog anyway ! 8-) OK here's the next bait. Let's go to Japan a little bit. I think that we should be able to see Daniel back with this one ! Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Very odd bait, I've never seen it before but it reminds me of (though I know it's not...) the Anthrax... I like your white-out job on the pic. Quote
