Trapset trapper Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 4,565 Nebraska	This thread made me think about a plug that my dad gave me when I was about 5............so it is at least 20 years old It is called the Muskie Minnow. From the Creek Chub Bait Co. As far as I know it has never been in the water. About 5 inches long and solid silver color. Propeller fore & aft, yellowish eyes and two treble hooks. In the original CARDBOARD box [/quote] Love that story, especially the 20 year old estimate! LMAO That is a real cool lure though Ken. There were lots of Pikie Minnows & Creek Chub lures from Chub Creek, I even have a couple around here but I never knew they made a Muskie Minnow. www.rtssetter.com

I was expecting to see a Jitterbug or two.... my favorite back in the 60's and 70's. I remember an overnight canoe trip at Boy Scout summer camp in southern Missouri in the late 60's. It was a magic night where I caught a nice bass on almost every other cast on a Jitterbug from the canoe. After that, the purple Beetle and Beetle Spin were magic for me over spawning bass. Anybody remember the Bushwhacker? It was deadly too. Pete Jitterbug is one of my favorites. Back when I was a kid I saw an add in a magazine of a Jitterbug painted like a redwing blackbird. I've always wanted one like that but could never find one. And don't forget the Hula Popper! Another classic. here is the red wing you may be looking for? .,., Lifetime Member NJTA...WTTA Caught the bug in 1979

All I can see on the end of the box is KIE MINNOW..........so it could easily be PIKIE Minnow. That never occurred to me Mean As Nails

The ones I fished were yellow with red spots or frog colored, as I remember. They were just fun to watch as you were reeling and waiting for the grab. And of course Hula Poppers were great, but about that time I started fly fishing with deer hair poppers. Pete
