A vintage topwater lure that's incredibly effective for bank fishing! Extremely Rare In Original Box 1965 A genius concept: a fly-lure hybrid that's too effective, an old lure. World's First Water Intake System Backeye Bait Bug-N-Bass Popular Large Size 3-1/2" Body BACKEYE BAIT CORPORATION BUG-N-BASS In 1965, BUCKEYE BAIT CO. of Kansas, North America, patented a water intake system structure that creates water flow from the large open mouth to the gill holes. They further released the BUG-N-BASS, incorporating fly elements, in two sizes, 2-1/2" and 3-1/2", and 12 common colors. This lure, with its characteristic popping sound that mimics the feeding sounds of small fish chasing and trying to catch aquatic insects like mayflies dancing on the water's surface, is surprisingly effective despite its toy-like appearance.
