Creek Chub 7300 Special w/Pikie Lip
I was reading through Frank Pintauro's (Hunting & Fishing Collectible Magazine) article on SW Classics (#2 in the Series) and came across the Creek Chubb Husky Surfster pictures. This was a hugely successful plug in the 1960s. Most were made by CC with the typical Surfster lip and 3 hooks but some RI fisherman preferred it with only 2 hook positions (Special) and a Pikie lip for sub surface fishing.
This color scheme is what CC called Purple Eel ... it was available either with glass eyes or tack eyes.
I decided to make this in AYC and rattle can paint it Hunter Green with Rusto Yellow belly and Rusto Red chin. It has one belly wt just aft of the belly hook position
