Gandy Dancer - Prototype - Modification
This lure is made of wood and comes in a clear cedar finish. It is 3" long and has a split ring on the line tie. It has the older hardware and a spinner on the rear. It has several holes in it where they tried different positions for the hardware to see how it changes the action in the water.
It is a Gandy Dancer body. It has the curved cut on the nose but they have not make the 2 final cuts on the lip to make it a Gandy Dancer.
Looks like they were trying to make a new lure from the old Gandy Dancer Perhaps the forerunner of what would become the Wood Chug.
