Description

South Bend Surface Minnow, Red Head/White Color, GE - Early. Earlier South Bend Surface Minnow with glass eyes, unmarked spinners and back. About 3 3/4" long. Used vintage lure with some minor wear but in overall good condition. See photos. Would be great for fishing or add to that vintage display. Tougher lure to find dating back to the pre-1924 range. Tough to find a nice one with glass eyes like this. See all of our South Bend lures for sale here . This lure will make a great addition to your collection.

  • Vintage collectible with glass eyes
  • Good for shallow feeding situations

Cons
