Vintage Creek Chub Plunker Early Introductory era 1924-1935 2 1/4"
The Early "Introductory" Era (1924 – 1935)
While glass eyes were the standard for most early Creek Chub lures, some specific models and lower-cost versions were produced with painted eyes during this time.
- Early Midget Pikies and similar wooden plugs from 1924 to 1935 were often released with painted eyes rather than the more expensive glass beads.
- During this period, the paint was typically applied directly to the wooden body in a simple circular pattern.
