Item Details

Description

Test bait originating from Harry Heinzerling, 2 3/4” body in frog spot, with a metal belly hanger for four single hooks, similar to the later production Weed Bug hardware, as is the shape/style of the nose. Pictured on page 194 of Creek Chub Lures & Collectibles, not a bait that made it to production, but still an important part of Creek Chub's innovative history. With use wear and chips, dating from the 1920’s, purchased from Heinzerling in the 70's.
