Yes sir those are them. I still have packing boxes of those old riptides still in the original package.
NO, it was probably one of the best jigging lures I ever had. I had another one I was given by my grandfather called a Bush Ape? It was really good too.Was it really deadly or was fishing better back then?
Those are the Original Riptides. My Dad owned the company. It’s the lure I use . I have caught hundreds on f Salmon with them. My Tyee fro last year with themHello Everyone!
I'm new to the group, but have been searching high and low for information on these lures that I recently acquired from my older half sister. Our father passed away in 1983. I have many memories of fishing with him until I was 17, when he passed. My sister and I reconnected some 3 years ago and she recently asked if I would be interested in some of Dad's fishing that she also acquired from the estate sale. The box of Dad's gear arrived last week and I remember the majority of the items, but I didn't remember these.
I've been searching for two weeks and finally found something as to what they are. THIS TREAD!
I've read some posts and it seems these lures are used for salmon fishing. Am I correct?

how do you rig them? slip line up the middle with a rubber buzz bomb bumper and a hook?I use them all the time. I love the really big ones. Work better than Shimano's
Yes sir.how do you rig them? slip line up the middle with a rubber buzz bomb bumper and a hook?
Sounds like another Peetz acquisition play.It's still deadly today. Those that know, know. We never Quit using them, they just got very hard to find after my buddy sadly passed away. At one time his son was going to attempt to reignite the lure range. Not sure where it's at now. Another amazing Vancouver Island produced product range.
