Description

Chautauqua Topwater Minnow, Classic Red & White Color. Masterfully crafted lure here. About 5 1/8" long including the spinners (about 4" body) . Made from cedar and complete with glass eyes. Comes with a box and a matching card with all the information you need on this lure. Newest line of Chautauquas from 2025. Hand crafted by The Chautauqua Bait Company and delivered in a two piece cardboard box. In my opinion the closest thing you will find to the old Heddon lures. High quality and simply amazing. Great to fish and equally great to display. (Hook tubing for safety during shipping. Please remove prior to fishing.) See our entire catalog of premium Chautauqua lures.

Field Notes

Use this topwater minnow on calm to moderately moving water, working it with steady retrieves and occasional pauses to let the lure suspend and attract strikes. It’s also well-suited for low-light periods when fish are more likely to chase surface prey.

  • Glass eyes for realistic appearance
  • Includes spinners and is designed for topwater action
  • Comes with box and matching card; good display quality

Cons

  • Hook tubing must be removed before fishing
  • Not a specialized lure for deep-water presentations
