Museum Archive: Creme Mini Tail soft bait, fishing #6049

Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, these soft plastic tubes offer a classic profile for panfish and crappie enthusiasts. This vintage 10-pack from the Creme Lure Co., based in Tyler, Texas, showcases the Mini Tail design in a high-contrast Red/White color scheme. The solid red bodies transition into translucent white, split-tail tentacles, a combination favored for visibility. On the reverse of the yellow header card, associated with product code 6049 (and model 522-05), original rigging diagrams illustrate both Outside Rig and Inside Rig methods for use with a jig head. These lures remain in their original factory packaging and are unused, reflecting a condition rating of 6. The header card remains stapled to the clear plastic bag, preserving the baits in their original state from the Tyler facility. Each bait features the hollow-body construction necessary for the internal rigging techniques shown on the packaging.
