The Mustang--Then & Now

June 8th 2011 16:54
I only have a casual interest in vintage lures so I was a little intrigued when I ran across some information about Pflueger's Mustang.

These fine old lures are made from wood, which is unheard of today, and from photos I've seen it looks like the hardware is attached by screws rather than rivets where possible and date back to the 40's (so I hear).


If we fast forward to the present, you can see a photo of a modern Mustang I stumbled across on a French site, baitandsee.fr.

This a modern Mustang complete with nose art. It looks like he downed some Zeroes!


Since I don't read French, I can only assume this is a plastic lure. I wonder if the diving lip is molded into the design or glued in.

At any rate, I thought it might be interesting to look at then and now!



Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
