Location: Richland Center, WI. | Did a little horse trading today with a guy who lived up in Price County WI. years ago who wants to fish catfish instead of musky. Ended up with an old box full of baits with some that I can't ID. Any ideas?
The lure with the wire leader has written in black on the underside near the tail "Stalker Jr. by_________" Can't read the name after by.

| The top two are Hi-Finns, top on is a scamper and the bottom is a flaptail. The bottom are both Gries baits the top a striker and the bottom a topkick |

I thought the top two were Hi Fins also but the Hi Fin splashtails I have seen did not have the pointed prop on the front and it and had a solid wire leader attached..
The bottom two, the one with the leader upon further review does say "Stryker Jr" by Dick Gries. The bottom lure has a rounded face instead of the pointed edge face like a topkick. Maybe an older version?

| looking at the Hi-Fin web site they do not carry those two anymore. They have a giant scamper (with a deep big lip) and the splashtails have a wire on the front and a solid body.
Russ Smitty Smith retained the rights to the striker last year and now you can get them from him. He even did a collector striker for musky hunter last year in a special glitter walleye color |

Location: Not where I want to be! | The top bait is a Hi-Fin Scamper, and the next is a Hi-fin Scampertail. The Hi-fin Splashtail has no prop on the front, but does have the solid wire on the front. The name on the Striker could also read Gries/Sirese. They were partners at the begining of the co. |

Location: Richland Center, WI. | Thanks for all of the responses. I think we are starting to figure out that the two are definitely Hi-Fins.
