Just been through my lurebox, hoping to get out this weekend, and I’ve come across this crank. It appears to be made of wood. It’s got ‘Ken craft’ stamped on the lip. It’s been kicking around for a couple of years, and wondering if anybody knows any more about these? When I first came across it, I did wonder if it was a copy of a bagley due to the eyes. Bought from a local tackle shop a couple of years ago. Just had a look on Google and found 1 similar lure, with the same style eyes, under the same name, but other than that can’t seem to find much else.

Re: Lure Id
Ken Craft afaik is one of Japan's top lure maufacturers. Looks like one of their Shad Max or Trapper lures.

Not used it in a while, but from what I remember had a decent action, plenty of body roll. I’ll have to give it another swim at some point.Ken Craft afaik is one of Japan's top lure maufacturers.
