If this bait rotated like the bait in the previous trivia then we’d have a reel barber pole bait.

I think barber pole lures were best known for catching hairring

Ok... It was The Charmer Minnow. The Charmer Minnow Company first patented these in 1910 and they made them in several versions. These lures are favorites among lure collectors. They are hard to find. I found only one on Ebay today for auction, it had a buy it now price of $500.00 ...and No, I did not buy it.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia, I know I did. See you next Monday morning.
Here is a picture of this lure.

Looks like a Devils Horse
Very similar...The Devil's Horses that I have seem a little bit longer and skinnier...also different hook placement.Quote:
