Here are 3 lures approximately 20 years old. The first surface lure has "pro musky"
on the blades the second one looks like a Cisco kid topper but is wood and the third
looks like a pikie minnow. Are these homemade lures?

"the second one looks like a Cisco kid topper but is wood"

That is a TackleMaster Lure from Barneveld WI made back in the mid to late 80s.
I have several and the ad that appeared in Muskie Magazine, back in the day.

That looks like an Old Wooden Baits Company lure.

muskie! nut nailed it....Old Wooden Bait company lure. The crimp or ridge (just visible) at the top of the lip is one of two small parallel ones....and the double wire going through the lip into the body of the bait were features of those baits

Here is a link to a different bait they made. You can just see the crimp or small "indented line/fold" on the top right of the lure's lip and the double wire running through the lip back into the bait.

First looks like a wades creek er and the third is a bait that was made by John Myhre up in Hayward. The ones I had were from around 20 years ago.

Neat...I stand corrected...I didn't know about that lip style being used elsewhere.
