This could be a tough one. This lure was designed in 1915 and patented in 1918 and was very popular bass lure in the 40's. 50's and early 60's. It had two over head spinners with a lead head and bucktail tied onto the head covering the hook. It was the first spinnerbait (not an inline spinner) designed for bass fishing. The company is no longer in business. Who made it?

I got lucky with the last question, let's give this one a try. I am going to guess this one to be a Gilliam's Winged Bug. Introduced in the early part of the 1900's.

No..... But you are correct!!! Congratulations it is the Shannon twin spin. An interesting side note is that Shannon also later made a saftey pin style spinnerbait similar to todays spinnerbaits but it did not sell well for them and they discontinued them. Just a liitle ahead of the times I guess.
