Hand cut and varnished diving lip is secured by cup and wire hook hanger hardware. So formed, this wire acts as the rear tail hook hanger. At the rear, this wire extends through the tail, then returns around and along the belly, where it is secured by the rear belly hook. Full through body wire forms both the line tie and segment joint. This rustic jointed diving lure is 3-3/4" carved. This shallow lip is concave and oval in shape. Note the great hand fashioned diving lip, mimicing Paw Paw Bait Company's product. It is illustrated and described in the Primitives Section on page 40 of the book. With its rich patina, it's great in your display case or in hand. For some reason this lure has always'talked' to me.
