Field Notes

This is a collectible surface lure shaped like a grasshopper, best suited to calm or lightly rippled water when fish are looking up. Work it with steady retrieves, pauses, and subtle twitches near weed edges, docks, or shoreline cover to imitate a struggling insect. Its large profile and novelty presentation make it especially appealing for trophy muskie collectors and anglers.

Pros

  • Rare 1 of 1 collectible with signed box
  • Large surface profile for trophy fish
  • Wooden construction with glass eyes and detailed finish

Cons

  • Premium collector price
  • Likely more of a display/collector piece than a daily-carry fishing lure
  • Single lure style may be less versatile than standard topwaters
