Identification on some older cranks

Identification on some older cranks - 08/12/17 01:43 AM

Went to a garage sale today and a fella was selling off a lot of older gear including a couple old Ambassador reels I needed for the collection.
He also had some tackle boxes and loose gear.
The find for me was the 2 older cranks. Not antiques but they will join my other older gear I have.
Anyone have an maker on these?
This fella said he hasn't touched this fishing gear in nearly 20 years.

Im reading about them now.
Looks like these are the original Balsa Bs.
One color is Chartreuse Crayfish
the other one looks similar to the Blue Back

Not bad for a 2 for $1 deal.

I also scored some old Hula Poppers and 3 Pico Perch.

I threw those a thousand miles back in the 80's. They want catch anything; but don't throw them away. Send them to me please.

This. Great balsa wood shallow water cranks. Super buoyancy! Hit cover and pause somit can float before restarting retrieve. Awesome baits.

Yep, the original and the Balsa, one of the 2 here. Already been said, but I thought I would add my .02 here. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
