Those look very similar but mine had different legs and I am almost certain mine were single treble designs. I still have one in the garage. I will try to find it tomorrow.

As I mentioned in an earlier post my daughters lawyer was the inventor of these. He made and painted these two for me in his garage while I watched. I tried fishing with them but as you can see the string kept getting stuck. Capt. Phil Broussard did a promo for them and he did catch quite a few fish with them. The blow ups were awesome.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

Zipper Worm. I know some people still use them but there for awhile it seemed like everyone had them in their boat.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen Pork-o mentioned. I caught a lot of fish at Squaw Creek on those in the early 90’s. Lateral Perch was one I never caught a fish on. Still have several of those.

Smith wick had a crankbait in the late 70s early 80s called a Blinky I think. It was a Square bill that had eyes that blinked red when it was being retreived. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/04/full-65297-8871-dsc00998.jpg) I've got one....never caught any fish on it.......
