Location: Bloomer, Wi | what is this bait called. i assume its some sort of Crane jerkbait. Seems kinda old, its had some damage but was really curious to the action and name of this bait as well as when they were in production. its my buddies bait, he is just starting out in musky fishing and his friend gave him this it caught my attention.

Location: oswego, il | Big Chimney Bait Co made a bait just like that. I have two of them but not with a crane paint job. He is from wv too so maybe they painted some? |

| Looks like a crane with the same cut as the Big Chimney EZ-ZZ. Definitely crane paint. I have a big 3 hook crane like that, without the cuts.
I also meant to mention.... I believe the style in the R & H catalog are made from resin, they glide excellent, rock on the drop. These bigger ones do much of the same but are made from balsa. |
