Museum Archive: Vintage Poe’s Poe's Super Cedar , 3/5oz fishing lure #16017

Tipping the scales at 3/5 oz (16g), this handcrafted cedar crankbait showcases a classic crawdad-inspired color scheme with a deep brown back and vertical stripes. The 2 3/4" (7cm) body transitions into a vibrant orange belly, a color combination designed for specific visibility conditions. Embossed on the wide, clear diving lip are the "POE'S" and "USA" marks, characteristic of the craftsmanship found in product code 16017. Two red and black circular patterns serve as eyes on the top of the head area. This Super Cedar model is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a smooth finish over its wooden construction. The hardware includes two original treble hooks mounted to the belly and tail, secured by traditional wire loops embedded into the cedar wood.
