What does the lure look like
This is the picture from an old thread about this lure :
http://www.chicagolandcanoebase.com/...re-01b_001.jpg
Basically, it's a J shaped, flattened piece of lead on a small hook ... with a trailing hook tied to the shank curve of the main hook with 2lb test cat gut, and marabou tied on the trailing hook. The main body has a leader tied to it ... but I'm not sure if it's 2lb or 4lb test mono :confused:
The lure wobbles when retrieved, much like a spoon.
Do an advanced search for "Fujita" and you'll find the previous thread discussions regarding this lure.

Those may not have a name ... but they are not a Fujita "No-name" lure, though they do seem to have been fashioned in a similar way.Quote:

It's all good, Scrat. Fujita's No-name has been out since I was a kid (1950's). We had a discussion on it, back several years ago ... and I was contacted by Tara's brother & got some featherless baits from him (as did a few other members) and tied my own 'versions'. They had been out of production for some time, after the originator passed away & the company went into Tara's hands. She had problems finding people to tie the "chicken feather fluff" onto the bait, but that appears to have been solved & she's back in business.
They are a great panfish bait ... even though they were originally made to catch small Bass. The leader line is 2# test cat gut (mono ??), and the feathered hook is tied onto the lead body hook with a short leader. So, great care is needed when extracting these lures from the fish's mouth, so as not to break those lite lines that hold the rig together.
Here's the link to that 2005 discussion : http://www.crappie.com/crappie/main-...me-jigs-4.html

The other pictures was crafted by PAPAPERCH a jig crafter from Ohio. Maybe I got it right this time.
No Name Lure by John Fujita Vintage Small
This is a vintage No Name lure invented by John Fujita, smaller than the one offered in the recent past. Distance from the eye of the leading hook to the end of the trailing hook is 1 1/4". The feathers are 3/4" long".
