Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Chug N Spit, 2/5oz Silver fishing lure #17646

Silver sides with a scale-textured pattern transition into a deep blue-black back on this surface popper from Mann's Bait Company. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), the Chug N Spit (Product Code 17646) features a prominently concave face designed for topwater casting. The silver-toned finish is complemented by vibrant red eyes and a rear treble hook dressed with white feathers secured by red thread. This USA-made specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a clean surface. It was originally engineered for surface pike and perch fishing, with the body shape providing a stable profile for casting. The Mann's brand name is stamped clearly on the side of the silver body.
