South Bend Tease Oreno Lure
The South Bend Tease Oreno Lure was first introduced in 1929. The antique lure lasted over a dozen years in the South Bend of Indiana’s lure line up. The fishing lure was a series 940 and lasted long enough to go through a few modifications. The Tease Oreno measured in at just over 4″ in length. It had both glass and tack eyes over its product lifespan. The lure came with two traditional treble hooks the middle secured by the standard issue painted cup rigging. The lure had a crescent moon type shape with the front end having a metal flasher plate fashioned over the top and bottom portions of the lure extending roughly an inch in. The is also where the front line tie is affixed. The lure was made in a host of colors over its time span.

From the 1931 South Bend Antique Lure Catalog it states: ” It Gets em and How. With a crawling wiggling lifelike motion on the surface-an action never before attained in a surface bait. It makes little difference whether you reel it fast or slow-or by short jerks because it has action under all Conditions.”
