Bagley Smoo #3

[Kayser]

Digging through my crankbait box, and found a couple of old balsa cranks that look like they would work for walleye. The bottom says Bagley Smoo #3, but I can't find anything about them online. Big wide bill, body has a wide top profile, slim and bent side profile. Hoping somebody on here would know what they are, what they work best for, or if I should even consider using them? One is green, the other is a brown-tiger/crayfish color. both have chartreuse bellies with orange stripe in the center. Does anybody know anything about these baits?

The smaller size can be used like a wakebait - I think they would be a good Walleye trolling lure, too.

I think I may have a Dr. Seuss book about a Smoo.

eBay has a few listed. They seem to sell for less than $10--- perhaps a lot less.

I think Horton Heard a Who, not a smoo.

Al Capp created the Shmoo back in the late 40's.

FYI, you google smoo and it come up with smelly women parts, so you might be chummin with that bait.
