Lil Fishies

[rcfillingham]

I asked if anyone had heard of a soft plastic called lil fishies, a few weeks ago , but did'nt have any pics. I got my buddy from upstate NY to send me some,so I have some pics now. We ordered about 300 of each, in 10 or so colors, in the late 80's. Im sure they were made in AL, TN, Miss, GA area. Has anyone seen or used these and can you still buy them. I have 2" and 3" in about 8 colors right now ( about 20 of each). We tore up smallmouth and panfish on them back then. Thanks in advance.

It looks like they've changed the design from the ones you have.

Thanks Dogrockit. Those are the very baits I was looking for. They were called lil fishies by the guy who sold them back then, may not have been the real name. Good all around soft bait with great action.

The ones made by Creme in Tyler, Tx. are "Lit'l Fishie" not Lil' Fishie.

I got a pack at the old tackle store in Decatur Al., a few months ago, these were a cool looking blue color, which is one of the best for Guntersville. I'll give 'em a try, the package had a lot of dust on it, must have been sitting around for a long time, the guy at the desk gave it a good look when I brought it up, like he didn't even know they had them, and I told him it looked like a threadfin shad to me and he nodded. It's that first tackle store on the left as you come across the bridge in decatur from Huntsville.

Yeah, The first time we bought them was 1983, my dad sez. They were from a friend of my cousin from the South. He called em lil fishies but that may not have been their true name. My dad said they came in the mail in bagies, so who knows who first made them. At that time I was a member of a club called Ontario Anglers. We all caught the dickens out of walleyes, smallie, panfish with them. I'd love to know where bigbite lures gets them or where they bought the molds. They are a great minnow lure.
