Old school swim bait

[alphaman]

My neighbors who is 70+ years old gave me this bait. A big lake guide gave it to him years ago when he had a camp. Mainly used for trout.

Has anyone seen this bait before? The plastic fins by the eyes can be turned up r down. It makes the bait dive,splash, swim up. Etc.

sent from my Galaxy NOTE II

That's pretty cool!

It's not that old...I think DOA made that about 15 years ago but I forget what it's called

Looks like a bait that was made by DOA. Pretty cool

I first saw that bait on Terry Shaunessy's (sp) TV show he had years ago on the Lake Charles open channel. It's and old DOA i think but don' t remember the name. Prabably 15 years ago I saw it.

I remember those!!! I also remember they didn't produce great results for me.I could not build any confidence in the lure so it quickly faded out of my tackle box.

I still think they sell the DOA mullet. The one in question has winged eyes that could be turned to make it wake or "pop" or turned to make it dive.
