    What Is It???

    I got this lure out of a old tackle box. It is red and White balsa wood 4" long 3/4" wide no markings on it . When open the hooks become weed free and when the fish bites it the upper and lower hook open to catch the fish. I looked every where and cannot find it. I know somewhere out there someone knows. Looks like a summer job to make. Wayne

    Post it over on the Antique board, Ed will probably be able to tell you.
    I have seen it before, just don't remember the name of it.

    It’s a Johnson Weedo made by St Croix Lures, Park Falls, Wisconsin 1948 in excellent condition $25-$35. Probably made of a harder wood than Balsa, they used a lot of red cedar and western cedar back then. Just a guess.
