Description

Macatawa Bait Co. Angler Grabbing Hook, Walleye/Perch w/Box. Unique Macatawa model, first one that I've seen. The hook part of this is about 5 7/8" long and the walleye or perch body is about 8" long. In total this is just under 14" long. Both the hook and the matching box are in great condition. See photos. One of the weirdest and coolest fishing items I've come across. See all our premium Macatawa Bait Company lures . This lure will make a great addition to your collection. Be sure to check out our other tough and rare antique lures at My Bait Shop's Vault , the place to find our tougher collectible lures for sale. Part of our Macatawa Arizona Collection .

Field Notes

This is a collectible antique lure rather than a modern production bait, so practical fishing guidance is limited. The large body and hook-style design suggest it was intended for casting to bigger predators in open water, likely as a novelty or trophy piece today. Most value is in display and collection rather than active use.

Pros

  • Rare Macatawa Bait Co. collectible
  • Includes original box
  • Large, unusual presentation piece

Cons

  • Antique/collector item with uncertain fishability
