stubbex1 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Hey everyone, i was in a friends basement on Sat evening having a few refreshments with him, and eventually we got on the topic of fishing/ hunting/lures etc, and he showed me this lure. its a 3 1\2 inch swim whiz made by homer leblank tackle. He inherited a tackle box from his father in law last summer, and this lure was in it. My friend used this lure at our fall fishing trip last year and hammered walleye and smallies with it. I've looked online for it and couldn't find one anywhere, all i can find is 6 inches and up. I also looked to see if believer tackle made one this small, but they don't. Anyone? Oh ya, its plastic, not wood. K.S. Edited October 4, 2010 by stubbex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sadly the 3.5-inch model hasn't been made in many, many years. Too bad because as you note, it was a good smallmouth and walleye bait. You could try hunting around on craigslist or eBay, but I don't think LeBlanc made many of the 3.5 inch ones .... I don't believe they sold particularly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Why not try making your own out of wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
