Field Notes

This is a collectible surface fly-style lure with wings, suited to calm water and visual strikes. It would be fished with short casts and a steady retrieve or subtle twitches to make the wings flutter and the body wobble on top. Best used when fish are feeding near the surface, especially in low-light periods.

Pros

  • Rare collectible Macatawa piece with matching box
  • Distinctive surface profile and winged presentation
  • Compact size for targeted topwater strikes

Cons

  • Likely fragile vintage construction
  • Not ideal for heavy cover or hard casting
  • Collector value may make it less suitable for regular use
