In the Creek Chub Bait Companies words:

We all know artificial baits are made for the purpose of deceiving the game fish that delight in killing and eating small minnows , water animals, etc. But before any attempt is made to produce a Creek Chub lure, an exhaustive study is made of the habits, movement, looks and actions of the particular minnow, or animal the lure is to ready present. For only in this way can the manufactured lure be made to accurately resemble the natural living, breathing minnow.
By closely examining any Creek Chub Nature Lure you will immediately recognize the two principal exclusive Creek Chub features Looks and Movements, both of which are most important for the successful deception of all kinds of game fish. Creek Chub Nature Lures are the most life-like bails ever produced. Their colors, shapes and sizes are in perfect accord with the natural minnows they represent. And with the mechanical and design patents covering each Creek Chub Creation, it is impossible for other manufacturers to produce baits exactly like them. Likewise the exclusive mouthpiece, that gives to Creek Chub Lures the natural, swimming, wiggling movement, is patented and can only be found on Creek Chub Lures.
But the public soon learns which are the genuine Creek Chub Lures, and which are the imitations. For instance, The Famous Pikie minnows, The Fintail Shiner, The Floating Injured Minnow, The Jointed Pikie, the scale and shell finishes, etc., are all original Creek Chub Creations that can never be equalled by inferior imitations.
