Here's an ad 'supposedly' from 1927 (no nose tie) so yours may be the real deal.

I'll give ya a dollar for it.

[dennis boatman]

Thanks...that is what I have...

[dennis boatman]

...hmmmm..with inflation, a 1923 dollar would be worth much more than a 2013 dollar...just sayin...

Gas was .15/gal then. So buying that CC bait for a buck in '27 would be the same as paying 24.00 for a lure today.

So what's so bad about 18.00-25.00 jerkbaits? Seems right inline to me.

[dennis boatman]

I was actually thinking of ebaying it...

All this for an old dollar plug? :lol:

My dad bought me this in the early 50's and it was so unique I was afraid to fish it. You can't see the line tie, but it is a loop of wire and when it's jerked the legs kick. It's called a Jensen Frog
