In 1963 a lure company in Ill came out with a musky lure that became real popular. Actually it was made in two sizes , a 2 3/4 in. for bass and a 4 3/4 in. for musky. It was a top water lure with a propeller on the front and three treble hooks, one on each side and one on the back. Can you name this lure or the company ? Will give a clue around lunch time today and will give the answer tonight and post a picture of this lure.
The Triple Treble Trouble Co. :biggrin
Nip-i-diddly . If it's the one I am thinking it was much like a shorter , fatter devil horse .
rwbb . but the jitterbug is a much better lure.
Hmm I was thinking Devilhorse as well, :bash:dono
Here is a clue...
two men invented this lure they were Frank Vanderheide and Walter Plus
Walter Plus what? Is it ok to you ask questions?
Walter Plus....thats the other guys name
Rebel Bumble Bug
P & V Bait Co. Pretty sure of the lure name but let someone else guess
Walter Plus plus Frank VanderheideQuote:

You didn’t say Joliet. Otherwise I woulda guessed Jake and Elwood Blues. Lol
Dang that thing woulda caught anything that looked at it with all those hooks.
I had an uncle that taught the prisoners how to make cloths at Joliet State Penitentiary. He was a tailor. Broke his back during the riots there back when.
