Description

Macatawa Beetle Lure w/Box. This Macatawa Beetle is about 4 5/8" long overall (2 1/2" body). Wooden lure with metal works. The box has some water damage but is in overall good condition. The lure is in good condition though it does have some minor rust on the back hook. Will probably clean up better. See photos. See all our premium Macatawa Bait Company lures . Part of our Macatawa Arizona Collection . What we believe to be the largest privately owned and historically important Macatawa Bait and Tony Smith collection to ever be put up for sale. Just under 300 items that will be individually sold and passed on to a new generation of caretakers and collectors. These items trace back to the early days of duck decoys to the beginning of the Macatawa Bait Company and all the way up to more recent offerings including many custom ordered one of kind decoys and lures. Many of these items have only been sold once and have never changed hands and may never come up for sale again in your lifetime. Now is the time to add some amazing pieces to your collection.

Field Notes

This is a collectible wooden surface lure, best suited for calm to lightly rippled water where a topwater presentation can be worked slowly and visibly. Use it with steady retrieves and pauses to imitate a struggling baitfish or insect on the surface. The included box and vintage construction make it especially appealing to collectors as well as anglers who fish classic topwater baits.

Pros

  • Classic wooden construction with vintage appeal
  • Surface presentation is easy to track
  • Includes original box

Cons

  • Minor rust on the back hook
  • Box shows water damage
  • Collectible value may make it less ideal for hard use
