Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Creme Weedless Du-Dad, 2/5oz Perch fishing lure #6033

With a weight of 2/5 oz (11g), this classic lure represents the early craftsmanship of the Creme Lure Company, which was founded in Akron, Ohio, in 1949. The body is finished in a detailed Perch pattern, featuring a scaled texture with a dark spine that fades into green and gold hues, complemented by a distinctive red-rimmed eye. Stamped clearly on the large metal front lip is the "DU-DAD" name, which identifies this 2 1/4" (6 cm) model. Designed for heavy cover, it features a long, integrated wire weed guard protecting a single upturned hook. At the rear, a white multi-strand rubber skirt is cinched with a gold-toned band to complete the profile. This specimen, identified by product code 6033, remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5. The top of the lure also bears the "DU-DAD" stamping, confirming its authentic USA-made origin.
