JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKER & ANDERSON MINNOW IN CASE

JOHNSON AUTOMATIC STRIKER & ANDERSON MINNOW IN CASE Carl Johnson invented a series of baits in 1935 where the hooks are designed to swing away from the lure after a strike. The somewhat complicated mechanisms, quality workmanship, and eye-catching finishes have resulting in these baits becoming quite popular today. In 1949, an ad for the Anderson Minnow boasted it was so “tricky”, it was banned in 3 states. The spring hook action still works as intended on this Perch colored bait. The Johnson is in Very Good Plus, all-original condition, and the Anderson is Excellent. Item Dimensions: Case: 9" x 6" x 2 - 1/2". Item Dimensions:
