Museum Archive: Vintage Gudebrod Goldeneye Trouble Maker Top Water, 3/32oz fishing lure #22501

Weighing in at a mere 3/32oz (2.3g), this petite topwater plug is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship from the USA. The Gudebrod Goldeneye Trouble Maker, identified by product code 22501, features a high-contrast finish with a dark black back transitioning into silver sides and a clean white belly. A distinct red gill mark is positioned just behind the large, painted gold-and-black eyes, which give the series its signature name. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, its compact body is equipped with a belly treble and a rear treble adorned with a white bucktail trailer, secured with red thread. Designed specifically for casting, this floating rarity is frequently used by collectors and anglers targeting trout, perch, or small pike. The hardware is bright and the paint remains remarkably crisp, reflecting a condition rating of 5/5.
