Little help with a crank bait lot

[dtrs5kprs]

That wally diver is an excellent bait. Most guys don't throw them, don't have a clue how, or when.

I resemble that remark!?

Should have said bored, and complete tackle addicts.

Thanks again for help! I'll post some more on Sunday,  once I've sorted through the boxes a little more.

#1- Risto Rap, the 5 size, I think 

#2- An SK 4, and a nice pair of 2A Bomber screwtails

#3- Mann's bait, shallow Loudmouth 

#4- Cordell Wally Diver- those are horrible ?

#5- no pic so that one's tough

#6- pair of Normans, looks like Deep Baby N

#7- Bagley's Killr B2 shallow 

#8- 7A Bombers, screwtails, black one is kind of a hard find

#9- Bagley's Diving Killr B2, very subtle deep crank, hard to throw 

#10- Rebel Humpback, deep

#11- Diving Ratl Trap, late 80's-mid 90's...When Bill Lewis baits started messing with the Trap to expand 

#12- Norman Baby N

#13- another nice pair of Bombers in a good color, one each 6A and 7A

#14- More nice screwtails, all 6A, the pumpkinseed color is hard to find 

#15- Cordell Jointed Spot

Not that I looked at them much...

If you sell them, break them up. You'll take a beating selling them as a lot. The Bombers and the Bagley's are your best baits in terms of $$$.

I don't know for sure but #10 looks a lot like a Bill Norman Scooper. Not sure if it's a little scooper or a super scooper. I'd have to dig one of mine out to measure it.

Might very well be. Super Scooper, Quarterback, Humpback, all had that shape. Rebels tend to have yellow eyes.

What's the easiest/best way to figure out if a bait is balsa or plastic?

Should be able to tell that right away by either the weight of the bait or the rattle/no rattle. Or just knowing the model and make will let you know what it's made of.

Rattles are a good clue. So is the paint/clear coat. A lot of plastic baits (like your Bombers) won't have the clear coat of a balsa bait. Exception would be the glitter coats like Norman's gel.

Most Bagley's, Rapala will be balsa. Poe's are cedar. Most of the rest are plastic.
