I have just got some musky baits and don't have a clue what these ones are. Any help would be appreciated.

I am guessing a jerkbait of some sorts circa the 1980's perhaps....

The greenish perch one looks like the old "Twighlight Tippler" to me. I used it alot before modern plastic baits came along and dsiplaced it. I often caught fish with the front set of hooks buried into the tongue. It was wierd. It seemed like every third fish would be hooked that way. Miserable to unhook, but easy to land. When I started using suicks quite a bit, I gave my last one to a kid. I heard he caught a 50"er on it. Oh well, that is always the way it goes.
