Monday Morning Fishing Trivia #42

During the 40's thru the 60's a lot of tackle companys were everywhere, bass fishing was popular and Texas had a lot of tackle companys. A lot of the companys were making wounded or injured minnow type top water baits. One that really stands out came from a Texas cpompany. Most all looked alike or were very similar. The one I have in mind is different, body profile is different, and a lot thicker, wider body. It came out probably early 60's and is a hard plastic bait. This bait is still in production today. Name this company....Name this bait.
I will give a hint today around noon and will give the answer tonight.

Bump to the top

Ok guys here's a hint
A wounded or crippled minnow a lot of times tries to swim on its side....this bait mimics that....it has a treble hook mounted on the left side and the tail end has a spinner and a treble hook. So this bait swims on its left side.

:dono Stumped

This has really got me curious.

PICO

Devil horse!

Ok guys....Slab got the company name right...It was Pico Lures. The injured minnow or injured shad style lures with a treble hook mounted on the side were made by not only a couple of Michigan companys but also a couple of the Texas based companys. The one that Pico made was quite a bit different in shape and thickness and length and width than the other companys offerings. Anyway the Name of the lure made by Pico was the Side Shad. It is a 3 inch long bait and it first came out early 60's and it is being made today. Pico Lures is now owned by Mitch Glenn and he has moved the company to Garfield, Arkansas. He has brought back the original Pico lures as well as adding a line of good crankbaits the Pico INT for crappie fishing as well as some new squarebill crankbaits. They also have a good line of jig heads, soft plastic baits, and of course the Pico Bunny Butt crappie jigs.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia....I know I did...see you next Monday morning. Below is a picture of the Side Shad bait.
