Well, in just about every way imaginable–from the sound they make to the person who invented them to the completely made-up. The Jamison Company of Chicago, however, decided to try something different in 1941 when they introduced the No. 1500, a River Runt style casting lure. They held a national contest to see who could come up with the best name.“Jamison’s No. 1500 lure,” a 1941 Sporting Goods Dealer article declared, “has been christened the Raider by the three prominent judges in the contest.” The winner was Howard L. Tollefson of Inglewood, California, who The lurer itself was billed as a “vivid chipproof plastic bait made in two sizes (3.25″ and 2.5″) and six patterns.” It is a pretty lure and certainly not as commonly found as, say, the wiggle twin.
