salmo/ lazy ike.

[dan z]

Hey folks this whole salmo craz has made me thinking about buying some vintage lazy ikes. My concern/? Is do they run like the hornets or are they a wide wobble bait?

The lazy ike is a banana bait more like a taildancer or the old lindy shadling, It has more of a wobble.

The hornet would be more like the old fat rap. The hornet is a foam lure with a shrink rap. The lure is very light with extremely small split rings and light weight hooks. The hornet when trolled at 3mph will make your rod tip vibrant or buzz. Kind of like a hornet. All this puts the hornet somewhat in a class of it's own. The old bomber 300s and spoonplugs were in this class of lure but are much heaver and have more thump then buzz. Let's throw the Hot-n-Tot into this group too.

I still use some Ike's as I have approx 24 that my Dad used.

Yes they have a pretty good wobble. Was a bait many used years ago but you do not see many6 any longer.

Walleyes have no issues eating them at all.

Use my share of the Salmo's also.

Dan if your looking for a slow wobble bait nothing beats the old standby of the Flatfish.
