| While in St. Louis I was given a few cool baits. I wondered if anyone could help me identify the lure maker for these two. Here are some pics.....

| I think they are made by the same guy that makes Wades Wobblers. Can't remember the name of these though. |

| ? Top lure looks very much like repainted CCBC Pikie. Same hardware? I assume the middle hooks swivel?
Bottom one, somebodies project? |

| Hardware looks similar to what is on a Wade's Wobbler. I am pretty sure I have seen cranks made by him, but not sure. |

| Thanks for the tips.
The two front hooks on each lure do swivel a bit, maybe 20* to each side. Neither bait has any markings.
I'm pretty sure both were made by the same person/manufacturer. Check out the twisted wire rear hook eyes, plus, the thru wire hardware that holds the front trebles is of the same design and materials for both lures. Also, the wood "feels" the same for each lure, i.e., it seems the same type of wood was used for both.
Thanks for the help folks. Keep those tips coming. |

| He used to live around Walker, MN. Might still. Reeds in Walker used to carry his stuff, probably still do. |

He normaly is in the Reeds booth at the MN Muskie Expo. Fae as I know all he still makes are the Wades Wobblers and Wades Wide Glides, never seen his cranks at a store or on any web stores.
