Museum Archive: Vintage Whopper Stopper Bayou Boogie, 3/16oz White Coach Dog fishing lure #20542

Measuring a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Bayou Boogie remains a premier example of American-made lipless sinking lures from Whopper Stopper. The "White Coach Dog" finish on this specimen, identified by product code 20542, is characterized by its stark black spotting and lateral bands over a white base, finished with a bright yellow underside and a deep red nose. At a weight of 3/16 oz (5 g), the lure is designed to descend through the water column, weighted for precision casting. The painted yellow eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the dark patterns of the upper body. Its hardware includes two original, silver-finished treble hooks that show the high quality of the manufacturing period. This item is in 5/5 condition, with the paint and finish exhibiting exceptional preservation. The line tie is positioned on the crest of the head, ensuring the lure maintains its intended orientation as it sinks.
