Field Notes

Best used as a surface presentation around calm to lightly rippled water where fish can track a larger profile. The fixed wings and movable tail suggest a wake/prop-style retrieve that can be worked steadily or with pauses to trigger follows. It also has strong collector appeal due to its rarity and boxed condition.

Pros

  • Rare collectible Macatawa bait
  • Large surface profile for musky/pike
  • Box included in great condition

Cons

  • Very expensive collector-grade lure
  • Exact color name is uncertain
  • Likely not ideal for beginners due to collectible value
