Wonder Bug replica



An original Hildreth "Wonder Bug" on the left and my version on the right. These lures always intrigued me because they were truly hand made and were comercially successful.

Thanks John, means a lot coming from you.

The flyer that came with the original lure states that Mr. Hildreth patterned this lure after a bug he discovered while fishing in Mexico! Must have been a wicked looking bug! The flyer also says that "if the bass don't bite it, they'll fight it". And this must be true because one of the bass that I caught with this lure was only about three times as long as the lure so I don't think he was planning on eating it. LOL
