The Little Zim lure.

History of the “Little Zim”

Many years ago, me and my brother Bob and our wives went out to the Lake of the Ozarks on a fishing and vacation trip. We stayed at the Walleye Resort. One day we stopped in at the small store the owner of the resort operated and I bought six of what was called Little Gems, which were all chrome spinners with white feathered hooks.  We tried the new lures by trolling with them and caught some crappie that day. We didn’t use them anymore this trip. I put the lures in my tackle box and forgot about them.

The next year I was preparing to go on a Fly-In fishing trip at White River, Ontario, Canada for walleye fishing. I came across the Little Gems in my tackle box and decided to modify them by painting the bodies red with nail polish and I changed the white feathered hooks to yellow. These were the colors that worked best with walleye in the past with other types of lures.

As soon as we arrived at the lake I tried trolling the Little Gem with my modifications and the walleye loved it. My three “Fishing Buddies” had to have one. The walleye stripped the nail polish off every day and we would paint them each evening and let them dry overnight for the next days walleye excitement.

When I got home I went to Moores Auto Paint Store to find some paint that would be more durable than the nail polish. My friend who worked there came up with some red oil based auto paint that really worked well.  Later I called the Walleye Resort and ordered all the Little Gems he had which amounted to around twenty. This turned out to be all I could ever get.

I never found them anywhere again.

We made numerous trips to Canada and caught hundreds of walleye with this lure.

I started going fishing with my son Bob at Kentucky Lake and when I tied a Little Gem on my line he said that I wouldn’t catch anything with that here. Well, he was wrong and I caught crappie, catfish, bass and bluegill. Bob was convinced but we were almost out of the lures and couldn’t buy them anywhere. Bob searched a long time for the parts and now makes them.
