Description

Macatawa Bait Co. Salesman Sample Set of 5, Feather Tail Minnows. Alone these Feather Tail Minnows are some of Tony's more uncommon lures. But as a signed Salesman Set this is quite a rare collectable. Each bait is painted in a different iconic Heddon or Creek Chub color. These flyrod baits are in great condition and the matching boxes in this set are also in good condition. Each bait is about 2 1/8" long (body only-- 4 1/2" overall). See photos. Marked and signed by Tony Smith on the back! It'll be hard to find this anywhere else, I've only ever seen a few of these individual lures available. Let alone a set of them! Honestly, this is the coolest set I've seen yet from Macatawa. Just awesome! See all our premium Macatawa Bait Company lures . This lure will make a great addition to your collection.

Field Notes

This is a collectible fly-rod minnow-style bait, best suited to light casting around calm water where a small surface or shallow-running presentation is desired. The feather tail can add subtle movement on a steady retrieve or gentle twitches. Because it is a salesman sample/collectible set, it is more notable as a display or collector item than a modern everyday fishing lure.

Pros

  • Rare signed salesman sample set
  • Includes matching boxes
  • Classic collectible color assortment

Cons

  • Very small bait for modern heavy tackle
  • Primarily a collector piece rather than a practical musky lure
