Has anyone heard of Proline Lures? This bait is 15" long and Thru wire with very heavy stainless gauge like Eagle Tails. Wire looks hand bent to me and clearly the engraving is hand done. I think it is solid resin but seems a little lighter than other large resin baits I have. If it is wood it must be balsa. Does anyone know anything about this? I have not had it in the water yet but hoping it is a good runner. Thanks.

Canadian bait from late 90's early 00's. Resin body very heavy gauge wire. They run good. Some of the models are the basis for today's Blue Water Baits. Let me know if you are ever interested in selling it...

Thanks for the info Matt. Do you happen to know who the maker is? I also have one that is over 18" long that has a very basic shape. It looks like a big Weagle.
