Creek Chub Tiny Tim Lure

The Creek Chub Tiny Tim Lure is a great little antique lure. The lure was Creek Chub Bait Company of Garrett Indiana’s model number 6400. This small, pear shaped, painted eye, wooden antique fishing lure measures in a 1 3/4″ in length. This antique fishing lure was first introduced in 1941 and made it all the way to 1978, despite having a minor hiatus between 1955-69. The lure came with the normal patented diving lip, but for a small period when the deep diving lip was made available on the Tiny Tim. There are a few rare examples as shown in the gallery below that have no lip, or eyes. The antique lure had a single forward line tie, and a single belly weight to help it dive deep. Installed on this smallish lure were two treble hooks one forward of the belly weight attached via the typical Creek Chub Cup Hardware, the other secured by the rear inset cup hardware.

A very small, fast wiggling, deep running lure with a perculiar shape somewhat like the natural water insects. An excellent lure for hot weather when the fish are lying in the deep water. It should be reeled at a moderate speed, occasionally stopping the lure for an instant and then starting it. An excellent lure for bass and walleye, pike.
