Banner photo of a sampling of various lures c.1915 – c.1941, from my “Vintage Lures” collections: (left to right) – Heddon #1605 Deep Diving Wiggler (side-hooked – carnival spot) c.1916 – c.1926; Creek Chub #3850 Yellow Beetle c.1932 – c.1933; Pflueger #3174 Neverfail Minnow (3 hook – yellow enamel, red & green back) c.1915; Pflueger #3193 Neverfail Minnow (5 hook – yellow perch) c.1941.
Carefully crafted to catch fish, but often more like works of art.
