Superior condition and craftsmanship exhibited on these two hand carved and painted musky baits from Ray Thompson of Minnesota. Beautifully finished with blended colors, bright red gills, big painted eyes, and "playful" mouth detail. The smaller 3 hook model measures 5", the large 2 hook model measures 6". Both appear to be in unfished, uncleaned excellent condition. Lot includes a photocopied story from Donna Tonelli that shares some insight into the life of Raymond Thompson.
