RED WILCOX WIGGLER

Charles M. Wilcox was awarded his original patent for this bait November 5, 1907. His Wiggler Mfg. Co. produced these for something like a decade or so, and in that time, he moved his operation from New Paris, Ohio to Elwood, Indiana. This model features perfect white-iris glass eyes, a pointed tube-style prop at the front, and the signature unbalanced prop at the rear. It is fitted with the rimless side cups, and the hook eyes ride on the central shaft. It has a single large belly weight retaining about 60% of its paint, and the head still moves freely. The super attractive Red with Dark Back finish displays beautifully, and overall, this all-time classic bait grades Excellent Minus. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection.

Item Dimensions: 3 - 1/2" L.
