Description

Macatawa Bait Co. Musky Frog Lure w/Box. This is a unique old/early Macatawa Frog, that comes with the many signs of Macatawa's early baits: belly weight and paint style. Lure's body is about 8 3/4" excluding the leather feet (about 12" fully extended). Hand carved basswood, glass eyes and leather feet. Lure is in amazing shape. The matching box does have some very minor storage wear but is still in good condition. See photos. This early Macatawa Frog comes with a belly weight and an extra pair of leather feet!

Field Notes

Use this musky frog as a surface lure around weedy edges, shallow cover, and calm-to-moderate water where a frog presentation can be worked over targets. Retrieve with short, irregular twitches and pauses to imitate a struggling frog, then let it sit to trigger follow-ups.
