Does anyone know what this lure is called? A couple old timer fisherman gave one to me and one to my wife at a lake today and within 10 minutes we were landing fish.

HI, Spokane Angler. I'm not positive, but, from what I can make of your picture, it looks like a flatfish or a kwikfish lure. Were you casting it or trolling it?

Looks like a flatfish to me. Here are some other flatfish that I own:




The come some with single trebles, and some with two trebles, and the wobble really well in the water and look like a fleeing baitfish. I've caught lots of fish with them up at Strawberry Reservoir in Utah.

I found a website that I think is the official website for them. They are made by Worden, but It looks like Yakima bait company has purchased them or something:

Yes, trolling is what they are most often used for, with lead core trolling line or regular spinning outfits.
