South Bend Nip-I-Diddee FO Fire Orange (Variant) “Firelacquer” Color. Harder to find variant of an already harder to find color. Lure is about 2 3/4″ long. Wooden lure with some paint fading and minor wear. Still great for display or touch up and take back out fishing. See photos.
South Bend first released the “Firelacquer” colors in 1950 and were advertised as being 500% to 800% brighter than standard finishes. In 1951, firelacquer colors were changed to included a shadow-o-wave. Making this waveless bait a rare find.
