RayburnGuy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Norman made a bait similar to the Zara Spook several years ago and I can't remember the name of it. It was shorter than the original Spook, but was about the same diameter. It had a "walk the dog" action also like the Spook. I can't for the life of me remember the name of this bait. Does anyone remember the bait and what it was called? thanks guys, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nope, not the Zara Puppy. This bait was built by Norman Lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly1 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 the only ones that come to mind are the spot tail wounded flash and the gilmore jumper but that was way back when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Not those either Hillbilly. Apparently this bait didn't go over very well, because it didn't seem to stay around long. Can't understand that either as I had really good luck with it. Sent an email to Norman a couple days ago. Still haven't heard anything from them. Will let ya'll know if I do. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 How about Carrot Top or Carrot Stick. This came to me last night and I don't have an old catalog to confirm it. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass1951 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 how about the Rat-lur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I don't remember the Rat-lur name, but that's the bait Gbass. Matter of fact, the bait in the first photo is the exact same one I used to kill them with on Toledo Bend. They were suckers for it on the upper end of the lake when the better fish were chasing big shad. thanks for the help, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I found out why the name Rat-Lur was unfamiliar to me. It was called the ZZ Top when I was using them. The band of the same name forced Norman to rename the bait and that's when it became the Rat-Lur. Not sure how long after the name change before it was discontinued.

bassnbrad Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 How about Carrot Top or Carrot Stick. This came to me last night and I don't have an old catalog to confirm it. JSC Just FYI, the "Carrot Top" was made by Smithwick, and are quite collectible nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just FYI, the "Carrot Top" was made by Smithwick, and are quite collectible nowadays. You are correct ... I remebered it a few days after I made the entry. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
