Spinnerbait name

[ydna]

Does anybody remember the name of an older Strike King spinnerbait that came out around 1990. The only weight it came in was 1 oz., had a single #7 willowleaf blade, and a cone shaped "Grass Bell" to protect the swivel area from picking up weeds. There is a photo of it on p. 28 in the May 1992 BASSMASTER magazine. It might have had the word, "Tournament" or "Tourney" in it's official name. A few years later, Strike King came out with a 3/8 oz. tandem spin version that featured the Grass Bell, called the .38 Special, that is still in their line. Bass pro Charlie Ingram used it, slow-rolling it in cooler water, but told me he can't remember the name of it. Thank you. Andy Williamson The folks at Strike King did not know either.

I can sure see it in my mind. My first thought was "grass" something.

Thanks. Makes sense. In the late 70s or early 80s Strike King made a spinnerbait with a single Colorado blade on the top wire, and a spoon as the "head" of the bottom wire. It was called the Grass King.

Good news! Mog Wah provided information that the name is simply the "Pro Model Spinnerbait". It came with a willowleaf (Diamond Willow)blade, and some were packaged with an extra Colorado (Tennessee Diamond) blade.
