Not a rapala but pretty cool muskie bait...

I got this bait from a buddy of mine up north. It's a Homer Le Blanc. I know nothing about it except it had 1979 on it before I painted it. I was thumbing through the new bass pro catalog and saw Johnny Morris holding a big Peacock Bass and thought it would look awesome on this big old lure. It was page 24 or 34 if you want to compare..lol.. The bass book... Anyway, what do you think, will they eat it? Anyone know anything about this bait?

It looks a lot like the famous muskie lure, 'The Believer' -

It's called a swim Whizz made by Homer Le Blanc.. I just don't know much about muskie baits..! Those are pretty slick looking too...

isn't that just a jointed believer???

Very nice work on the paint, but I hope the lure wasn't valuable when you got it. lol

There isnt much difference in the looks of a believer and a swimwizz. I have seen the swimwizz on ebay several times and it was cheaper in price than the believer. The paint job looks excellent and if u would like to forward the lure to me I will check it out for you
