Streich Three - The Flex-O-Mite

This tiny little bait is Paul B. Streich's Flex-O-Mite . It appears that at one time this bait had a rubber body that melted. What remains of this creation reminds me of a Lou Eppinger Klinker lure . I could find no advertising or patent info. on this one. I am unaware if Streich Bait Company had a dedicated box for the Flex-O-Mite . I received this carded lure in is an Acro-Bait Box.
