Field Notes

This is a collectible wooden spearing decoy rather than a standard casting lure. It would be used in ice or spear-fishing style presentations where a realistic target fish profile is needed, typically over a visible hole or in shallow water. The box and display condition make it especially suited for collectors and historical tackle displays.

Pros

  • Classic Macatawa collectible with original box
  • Wood body with glass eyes and metal wings
  • Large, detailed profile with strong display appeal

Cons

  • Not a modern fishing lure for typical casting use
  • Specialized spearing decoy limits practical angling use
  • High collector price
