The lure was South Bends 5 Hook Underwater minnow lure was the companies industry standard 5 hook lure at the time. The lure had a front and a rear prop, standard South Bend cups and had both glass and tack eyes over its life span. The 905 featured a single belly weight centered underneath.
We have a Red & Black 5 Hook Underwater Minnow in on Consignment this week.
The antique lure was 3 3/4″ inches in length a typical length used by most of the other makers. The lure if the props are not marked can be differentiated by say from a Hedon 5 Hook by the forward right cup placement. On the South Bend the Right front cup will be offset forward, on a Heddon it will be the left cup that is offset forward.
