Picked these up at a garage sale. Thought they might be custom painted tuffs, but the lips look different. Any ideas what they are?

Not mini tuffs. They are 5" long. I did pick up a mini tuff and 2 six inch tuffs at the garage sale too.

They look like tuff shads but i know a few bait makers make a similar bait. Defibitely not a GM shad they look more like a bagleys.

I have some first generation Tuff's that look just like that. There was a period when Chris was trying different things out before he produced a consistent wood model, during the prototyping period.

They appear to be COFFIN lipped Tuff Shads. That is what I and others call that style of lip. John

BM Shads have way more epoxy unless these are older models.

BM Shads that I own and others I have seen, have the BUBBLE eye. Coffin lipped Tuff Shads in that size have the decal eye. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. John

Here's a pic of a 5" tuff shad. Looks the same to me. Could be repaints if they don't say tuff shad on it.

I'm pretty sure they are repaints. Came from the same box as a few other tuffs I got from the guy. Same bend in the lip wire as the other tuffs also.
