Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | If you ask my wife, the top one is worth more than all the others combined! LOL. Lori loves her Mouldy's Topper Stopper. If the paint was in good condition on that one, you might get $8.00 on it, maybe. The last one is a Bobbie Wakemaker, and honestly, in my opinion, more thought should have been put into that one. If you are looking to dump the Topperstopper, I'd give you a bucktail for it that I made. I'd have to strip it down and repaint it, and Mouldy's are one of the most pain-in-the-keester lures to strip.

Location: Yahara River Chain | Lure1 is a Mouldy's Topper Stopper
Lure2 is maybe a Scooter by Fisher?
Lure3 is a Muskie Buster's Top Walker
Lure4 is possibly a Ozarks Wood Chopper or Amazon Ripper. The blades are like those from the Ozark company, but the body style is not one I've seen.
Lure7 is a Dick Gries Ojibwa (sp?)
and yes, Lure8&9 are Smitty's Baits
They are nothing special as most of them you can still get via R&H or Pastika's, etc. Except whatever 5&6 are. I never seen anything like those before. |

| I have #3, and several people told me it was made by Hellraiser.
#6 almost looks like a copy of a Creek Chub Wiggle Fish. Judging from the eyes and hardware, the same company made #5 & #6.
#7 is definitely a Dick Gries bait. I thought it was an Ojibwa, but I've seen some listed as Phantoms. (I had thought the Phantoms were the same lures with a bigger lip, but now I'm not so sure)
#8-Smity Deep Troller
#9-Smity Deep Lunge
If you're looking for values, I have bought # 1,2,4,7,& 9 on e-bay. #1's (in similar cond) went for anywhere from $2 to $7, #2 (like new) for $5, #4 (NIP) for $10, #7 (VG-exc) approx $10, and #9 (new) for $5. #7 might be worth a couple $ more than the others were it in better shape. |

Location: Greenfield, WI | The Ojibwa Crankbaits that Dick Gries made, were manufactured , I believe, from ironwood and sunk like a rock. |
