Monday Morning Fishing Trivia # 33

In 1913 a man invented a unique lure...it had a wood body with glass eyes and had a spinner and 2 sets of double hooks on the belly and 1 single hook on the tail. Who was this inventor? And what was the name of this lure ?
I will give a couple of hints later on today and will give the answer tonight.

Fred arbogast The sputterbug?

The body shape of this lure was somewhat like a elongated football...pointed on both ends

sounds like a heddon gamefish minnow except for the single hook on the rear.

NDI... no darned idea

Ok....here is the last clue.......
The spinner is spiral like and it's mounted in the center of the bait body

Chippewa bait co( I had to google to remember the name but I think I knew what you were describing)?

Heddon or Pflueger

Don't have a clue

I’m going with James Heddon and Dummy Double as the lure.

OK Bals gib nailed it....The inventor was Omer Immell...The lure was The Chippewa. ...The Company was the Immell Bait Company in Blair , Wisconsin. They produced these lures for just a couple years. I mentioned that the example that I looked at had 2 double hooks under the belly and a single hook on the tail....we after looking at more pictures there were several different sizes and configrations...Some had a double hook on the tail...some had a treble hook, some had a treble with a bucktail, and some just a single hook. Anyway lots of different hook set ups.
I hope you enjoyed todays trivia...I know I did. Stay tuned for next Monday morning.
Below are some pictures of The Chippewa.
