Description

South Bend / Best-O-Luck #931 Jointed Pike, RH Red Head/White Color. Hard to find these older baits in this good of condition. This lure is used with some wear as shown but still in good shape. About 4 1/2" long not including the lip. See photos and add to your collection. Best-O-Luck was the economy line of South Bend. This lure would date to 1935-1940. Tougher lure to find. Despite some age lines it really displays well. I don't see many of these. See our entire catalog of premium South Bend lures like this one obtained and listed for sale exclusively at MyBaitShop.com

Field Notes

A vintage jointed hard bait like this is best worked with a steady retrieve or occasional pauses to create a wobbling, wounded-baitfish presentation. It fits around cover edges, points, and shoreline structure where bass are feeding on small forage.

Pros

  • Classic jointed action can trigger reaction strikes
  • Floating hard bait is versatile for shallow water
  • Vintage collectible appeal

Cons

  • Older used lure with visible wear
  • May be less durable than modern hard baits
  • Limited information on exact running depth
