Field Notes

This is a collectible surface muskie hopper/topwater lure designed to imitate a grasshopper or other large insect. It’s best worked slowly on the surface around weeds, shoreline cover, and calm-to-slightly rippled water where fish are looking up. The box and antique presentation make it especially suited to collectors, though the lure style itself is a topwater presentation.

Pros

  • Rare collectible Macatawa Arizona Special piece
  • Large surface profile for muskie/pike
  • Distinctive insect imitation with box included

Cons

  • Antique collectible condition may limit hard use
  • Topwater presentation can be less effective in heavy chop
  • Likely expensive and hard to replace
