Paw Paw
Started in 1909 as the Moonlight Bait Co and continued until 1970 when Shakespeare bought the company. Made many neat lures with neat paint schemes including covering lures with real frog skin.


Old Moonlight/Paw Paw mouse. Neat lure.


Pike Caster. Beautifully shaped lure with neat paint.


#1600 Jointed Pike Minnows, these are older versions with more rounded noses. It seems like there were many variations in Paw Paw pikes. Same old lip with 2 screws except one lure has 3 hooks, other has 2. The one on the left also has flat joints. I don't think that any 2 Paw Paw pikes were the same.


Same lure as above except this one has skinny lip with "Paw Paw" written on underside of lip. Awsome greenish pike color with gold spots.


Jointed Pike Minnow in the awsome gold scale. Pretty lure. Has later, skinny diving lip with 1 screw and tack nose.


Paw Paw Pike in pike scale. This is the older version with the rounded nose and "Paw Paw" on backside of lip.


Another Pike, this one in shad color. Pikes can also be found with 3 hooks.


Baby Pike. Paw Paw written on backside of lip.


Paw Paw is confusing. I guess this is a Baby Pike, but it is about 1/2 inch smaller than the red/white baby pike above. This is yellow perch scale.


#3300 Underwater Minnow. Tack eyes. Not a common lure.


#1300 Punkin Seed. 1 belly weight. Neat little lure.


River Go-Getters in green scale and rainbow.


Popper in a neat olive green/silver scale


Baby Old Faithful in an awsome color.


Looks like a Paw Paw but I can't find it anywhere. Looks like Paw Paw shad color too. Really nice lure.
