Museum Archive: Vintage Paw Paw Master Wiggler, 1/2oz fishing lure #20606

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this USA-made rarity features a striking black back that transitions into a vibrant gold scale pattern on the sides. The Paw Paw Master Wiggler, weighing 1/2oz (14g), is equipped with a classic front-mounted metal lip and two stout treble hooks secured by screw-eye hardware. Identified by product code 20606, the lure's condition is rated at a 4/5, showing a well-preserved finish that highlights the intricate netting pattern used by the Michigan-based manufacturer. The scale detailing remains particularly crisp against the yellow-toned body, eventually fading into a smooth, light-colored belly. Its robust construction reflects the era of heavy-duty casting tackle, designed to withstand the pressures of trolling or steady retrieves.
