Field Notes

This is a collectible bobber/float-style topwater item rather than a modern production lure. It would be used on the surface as a float or display piece, with no specific running depth. The listing emphasizes collectible condition and original box, so it is best suited for collectors rather than active fishing.

Pros

  • Rare collectible from a historic maker
  • Includes matching box
  • Large 12-inch size and strong display appeal

Cons

  • Primarily a collector's item, not a practical everyday lure
  • No detailed fishing action or depth information provided
