Vintage Creek Chub Injured Minnow , 3/16oz yellow fishing lure #23433

A vibrant yellow finish defines the body of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) wooden lure, which features the distinctive red accents around the eyes synonymous with classic surface bait designs. This Creek Chub Injured Minnow, identified by Product Code 23433, is a floating rarity that showcases the manufacturer's early 20th-century craftsmanship. The 3/16 oz (6 g) frame is equipped with metal propellers at both the nose and tail to create surface disturbance during a retrieve. Its condition is rated a solid 4/5, presenting a clean exterior with the delicate scale pattern on the back still clearly visible against the bright primary color. Original hardware includes two sets of treble hooks attached via screw-eye hardware, typical for a specimen of this era. Designed for topwater presentation, the wood construction provides the necessary buoyancy to sit high in the water column.
