Most likely from Louis Chapleau, maker of so many experimental South Bend baits, is this 5" Musky glass eyed Sucker! One of a kind bait features carved and painted gill detail, oversized diving lip marked South Bend Pike Oreno, large belly cup and open screw eye hardware, and a wonderful sucker scale finish paint pattern, somewhat reminiscent of the Creek Chub Sucker. Condition is about very good+ having wear, pointers, and hook drag, obviously having been fished once upon a time.
