Field Notes

This is a collectible wooden surface lure with metal wings, best fished as a topwater presentation when fish are feeding shallow. Use steady retrieves or short pauses to make the lure wobble and flash on the surface. The box and craftsmanship suggest it is also highly suited to display and collecting rather than hard use.

Pros

  • Highly detailed collectible construction
  • Large profile for attracting big predators
  • Includes original box

Cons

  • Very expensive collector piece
  • Wooden vintage-style lure may be fragile
  • Not ideal for everyday hard-use fishing
