Looking to identify this bait. My wife grabbed it at a flea market. Looks like it's in brand new condition. It's fairly light weight, probably made of balsa wood

Not positive of the name of the bait , But it looks like a Hifin built bait. Very similar paint job and eyes used often by Hifin.

 Looks like  they tried to build a bait similar to the Hartman Bug.

Any Idea on the age of it? I've been looking around for a few days now and can't seem to find anything...

Darrel: Good call on the year. I was thinking late 80's, early 90's.

 

Esox69, good call on the Fathom, just could not find the right F word:)
