Monday Morning Fishing Trivia # 30

[Clint]

Lazy Ike, I fished that. I loved it, I need to get another. I had one that had four treble hooks. It had a wire device under it so that two treble hooks could hang off each eye left and right. That's where I got the nick name "100 hooks Moes" from! lol

This was the lure that we used when I lived in New England. We trolled it for trout and togue (lake trout). I still have some of the 4 hook models, small (2 inches) and big (9 inches).

Never heard of one.

There used to be a lure with a copy of the lazy ike on front with a 4 inch skinny worm attached on a swivel. Name was Brooks Reefer n Worm. DEADLY lure for sure.

I still have a few:




And here is the one with four (4) trebles!




And one of the group is an imposter. A bargain bin knock-off.

A Helin Flatfish was similar

Actually one of the ones pictured is a Flatfish - the flat orange one in the upper left. It says "Flatfish" on the top. Barely legible.

As a kid I remember my uncle having the Lazy Ike in his tackle box. Great bait for pond fish back then.

ichabod and others all are correct...It was Lazy Ike
The Kautzky Manufacturing Company was founded n 1857 by Joseph Kautzky a Austrian immigrant...then later on changed the name to Lazy Ike Corporation. Kautzky produced many baits and the most famous was the Lazy Ike.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia...I know I did...See you next Monday morning
