The lure was available in roughly a dozen and a half standard colors and probably half that and then some for special order lures. While the lure was available in the Creek Chub Bait Company Catalogs, the was no image until a decade into its existence.

Same size as the 2300, jointed like the 2600 shown on page 9. Equipped with extra heavy hooks and fittings to withstand hard use. The muskellunge lure pa-excellence.
