Museum Archive: Storm Chug Bug , 2/5oz fishing lure #14373

Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) in length, this classic topwater profile features a distinctive deep-cupped red mouth designed for surface chugging and popping. At a weight of 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure provides reliable casting distance for targeting pike and perch in shallow cover. The finish on this specific specimen, identified by product code 14373, showcases a detailed scale pattern on a silver-blue back that transitions into a vibrant orange-yellow belly. Large yellow eyes with bold black pupils are positioned forward on the head, while the internal rattle chamber adds an audible element to the presentation. Manufactured in Estonia, the hardware includes two sharp treble hooks, with the rear hook dressed in white feathers and tinsel. This lure remains in unused condition, though the original yellow and clear plastic packaging shows some marks from storage.
