Re: Lure ID needed
Bottom one in second picture is a smitty bait
Second one down in picture 2, is it a hellraiser bait company (they do cherry bombs) lure?
Not sure about the others................
(Top one could be an early scuttle bug???)

Cheers Danny, thought that one was related to the cherry bomb. Bottom one looks like it comes from the suick stable with how the hook-hangers go all way through to the top of the lure

Thanks, found that one in Charlie Bettels 'how to fish with lures' book, it just says Smity Surface in there but Slaptail rings s bell.

Not the same tail as the slaptail - & I think the lip/vane is different too.

Re: Lure ID needed
Second from top is a Hellraiser 'Cherry Twist'
Top is not a Smity Scuttle bug - they are shaped like a giant peanut shell (bulbous head and tail with narrower waist).
Smitys also use 'split pins' (like Suick) for belly hook-hangers.
Bottom is a Smity Surface Slaptail. They sometimes have a bell-shaped 'slapper' rather than the Colorado type, depending on size.
PS: The second from bottom may be one of Charlie Bettell's 'CB' range? The glitter finish and Partridge hooks suggest a custom built bait.
