Description

Macatawa Musky Beetle Lure w/Box. This larger Macatawa Beetle is about 7" long overall (4" 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 and I think it is missing one small screw on the belly. Will probably clean up better. See photos. Marked on the bottom of the lure: T. Smith, Macatawa Bait Co. 2001 See all our premium Macatawa Bait Company lures . Part of our Macatawa Arizona Collection .
