2 - 3/4" length. This c. 1904 or 05 bait utilizes the body of a Heddon 100 Dowagiac Minnow, but sports five hooks instead of the normal three. The side hooks are uniquely attached with handmade brass staples upon which hang non-nickel-plated hooks. Deeply inset white iris glass eyes are perfect. The finish is nothing short of amazing: a white base with sapphire blue sides and back, having scattered red dots and teardrops that interact with the blue paint in such a way as to produce sort of a corona effect. Really one of the most visually striking lures in the collection. It is unique and commands a place of prominence in any collection.
Item Dimensions: 2 - 3/4" length.
