The Creek Chub Beetle Came in two sizes, Regular and a Midget version. Firts seen in the early 1930’s it was in production for around twenty years. In great shape with box this lure can fetch up to $200-300
An early catalog describes the beetle as follows: “Representing a “water beetle” and traveling quite deep, this new life like, natural swimming lure, equipped with Creek Chub’s famous Mouthpiece, is one of the fines and most consistent big fish getters made today. With Non Fouling hooks, the extended rear hook gets all the “short biters” and the flashing irreverence of the pearl blade spinners make it irresistibly attractive! Large and Small Mouth Black Bass go for it – In a really big way. Body Length 2/12 inches Weight 3/4 ounce.”
