Description

Macatawa Bait Co. Salesman Sample Set of 5, Flyrod Wagtail Minnows. Alone these Wagtail 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 Creek Chub color. The Wagtail Minnows are in great condition and the matching boxes in this set are also in good condition. Each bait is about 1 1/2" long (body only--3" 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.

This is a collectible flyrod minnow-style surface lure, best suited to calm water and visual presentations. It would be worked with short twitches or a steady retrieve to create a subtle wake and darting action near the surface.

Pros

  • Rare signed salesman sample set
  • Includes matching boxes
  • Compact minnow profile for finesse surface presentations

Cons

  • Collectible/antique item, not ideal for modern heavy-duty fishing
