Museum Archive: Vintage Whopper Stopper Bayou Boogie, 1/3oz fishing lure #20855

The intricate silver scale pattern across the arched top of the body immediately catches the eye on this vintage Whopper Stopper Bayou Boogie. At 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this lipless sinking lure carries the specific product code 20855. The color scheme features a clean silver-to-white transition accented by a distinct red gill slash and a solitary black spot positioned mid-body. Collectors will appreciate the classic yellow eyes with black pupils that provide a focal point near the flat, vibrating head design. This USA-manufactured rarity remains in excellent shape, showing minor evidence of its age with a 4/5 condition rating. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks, with the belly hook secured by a standard screw-eye fitting. The line tie is located at the peak of the lure's profile, ensuring the intended orientation during a steady retrieve.
