Bait ID

Bought this off e-b-a-y a month or so ago and would love to know what it is and where I can get more.

It's about the size of a mag dawg, but it weighs 18oz.

I think you meant 8oz, because that would be a tyrant jerkbait, made from a guide in wisconsin or michigan. I've seen them at reeds or gander. There's a video of this bait on muskies first with more details i think.

Wow that looks awesome... change up the head design and it might would appeal more to me... or I could use the plastic body on a Mag Spinnerbait that has trailer hook... that would work...

Tyrant has a smooth hard body all the way back to the tail.

Nope positively not the Tyrant, and it IS 18 oz...

The seller also had a 9 oz version at the time and I'm kickiing myself for not getting those also.

Definitely nothing like a Tyrant. It looks similar to something that Bucher makes called a Grubby Joe. But it's not close to that big.

The Grubby Joe had alot different tail and it only came with one treble for the stinget hook, but thats what I was thinking too. I think Gander still carries the Grubby Joe, but that thing looks alot better.

18 oz... wow. that thing will dive in a hurry

Yeah I seen the Grubby Joe @ gander yesterday and it is very similar, but this things dwarfs the grubby.

wow. can't say i'm 100% sure but that's gotta be a small supplier. 1 pound head 2 ounce body. the other (not ordered) would be 8 ounce head 1 ounce body. are those bodies from the same source? they look different. really, i'm leaning toward a custom, very new, or no name supplier. nice baits, the colors are right that's for sure. how much were they if i may ask? that head is available in a mold, if i remember good, not real sure about the bodies, never seen those.

I'd look at a tackle shop that specializes in saltwater lures.

I paid $6.51 for them, bodies and head, the bodies are the same thing as each other. I would say the rubber is a bit heavier then 2oz maybe like 5-7oz. The rubber is some very heavy duty stuff, way different then the formula x that everyone is using now but still plenty lively (if that makes sense at all).
