Vintage Creek Chub Injured Minnow glass eyes, 1/2oz Perch fishing lure #23436

Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the wooden body of this floating plug showcases the classic side-lying profile synonymous with the Creek Chub legacy. This particular Injured Minnow, identified by Product Code 23436, is an early glass eye variant, a detail that adds significant depth to its expression compared to later painted-eye models. The Perch finish displays vertical barring over a dark back, while the underside reveals a lighter belly with some visible paint loss, giving the lure a 4/5 condition rating that tells a story of genuine use. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the lure is balanced by metal propellers at both ends, designed to create surface disturbance during a slow retrieve. These hardware components are held in place by sturdy screw eyes, typical of the robust USA-made construction from this era. Original treble hooks remain attached at the belly and tail, completing the vintage silhouette.
