Location: Germantown, WI | I bought this from Reeds several years back that the Milwaukee Musky Expo. It appears to be a well made bait. Walleye color. Glider. Pretty Heavy, but it floats. It has Wolverine split rings and what appear to be VMC hooks. I haven't measured it, but I'd guess it is about 9" long. Can anyone help me identify it?

Location: Marshfield, WI | You mean Amma Bama? I was thinking it was either that or a Deadhead or Sidewinder, both by Widowmaker Tackle.

Location: Germantown, WI | It's definitely not a Deadhead. I've got one of those and have caught muskies on it. I bought my Deadhead from the guy that makes them at the first Pittsburgh Musky Expo several years back. I'll have to look into the Wade's Wideglide angle. That sounds like a possibility. Thanks for the help. Does anyone else have an opinion on what this bait is?

Location: Germantown, WI | Does anyone know if Wades lures are still being made.? I think that is what it is. It has real big glitter on the surface of the bait, not under the clearcoat. Does wades have a website or are there any pictures on the internet that I might look at? If not can anyone tell me how to contact them? Thanks guys for all the help. I'm listing some old lures on Ebay and wanted to be sure about this one before I try to sell it. Nothing wrong with this lure, in fact it is in great condition. I just don't throw it much.
