Lure of The Month Club


              Join the club I'll being featuring a different lure each month 

 This first Lure of  The Month is dedicated to the great guys who helped me with the NFLCC magazine article about William Henry Mundwiler. Thanks-  Mr. Sonnett, Amstutz, Dyer, Watts, Saalfrank and Przybylo. Also a special thanks to Mr. Hoffman who traded this cool early bait to me.

The January Lure of the month is a Circa 1904 Mundwiler Minnow A.K.A Ypsi Bait

This early  Michigan surface minnow is one of my favorites. It is the earliest style of what collectors refer to as a Ypsilanti minnow. These early ones are tough to find especially in this two hook version.
