Moonlight Little Wonder Lure
The Moonlight Little Wonder Lure was first introduced in 1925 & 1926 by the Moonlight Bait Company of Paw Paw, Michigan. The wooden antique fishing lure was produced in 3 different cataloged sizes, a 4th has been found but wasn’t listed as a cataloged lure. Physically the Little Wonder can be identified by the elongated notched mouth. At the back of the mouth against the head of the lure was where the line is affixed.
