Fly Rod Dingbat Lure
The Fly Rod Dingbat Lure Bass size was a series F1400. This antique fly lure was first introduced by the Creek Chub Bait Company of Garrett Indiana in 1937. It would last less than a decade and be gone from the catalogs by 1946. This wooden lure mimics in shape its larger brethren and is the second to the smallest size fly that is why I added the bass and I refer to the smallest series the F1300 ast he trout. The lure has a single small forward line tie on the bottom of the chin , the round body and the a typical 2 tufts of hair exiting the rear lure. This antique fly has painted yellow eyes with a black iris. The antique fly lure has a single #6 size hook affixed to the rear of the lure. The lure wold come housed in a True to Nature box as shown below in the gallery and would be inset into a black card.
The Fly Rod Dingbat was available in 7 standard colors.
