Nice pics.

If you showed that lure to the old timers from Pierpoint or San Diego they would reminisce. That was a staple surface bait before the Starman (candybar), Baldy or Schnable surface iron came about. The first colors were all white, all yellow, and all sky blue. Later the Vivif company added larger and deeper scales along with multiple colors. Some copies were also made HOOCHIE TOAD. A great calico bass, seabass, yellow lure. When bait was tough guys would chuck the rubber. I,ve personally used em and caught a lot of all 3 species I mentioned on em. Unlike the plastics of today these were durable. I have no doubt that a Largemouth would eat one.
