The 900 Series - DARTER SCOUT (Top Scout)

This circa 1945 lure was produced in 2 sizes. The larger version is 2 7/8" and 1/2 oz. When this bait was first made by the CLARK Mfg. Co., the name DARTER SCOUT was used. Later versions made by the WATER SCOUT BAIT Co. were referred to as the TOP SCOUT.

It is quite rare to find not only a mint darter, but also the box in which it was originally sold. We are fortunate enough, thanks to Mr. Rob "UPSMAN" Lewis, to have exactly that in a model #924, Green Frog Spot for your viewing pleasure!
Various configurations of this bait have been found including ones with spinners in front or rear.
