Bass Look 
Good to You? 
This big bass was landed in September 
by Don Leigh, Fishing Editor of the 
Chicago Evening Journal, and the lure 
used was a PFLUEGER-SURPRISE 
MINNOW, but let Leigh tell the 
story; “It was a trifle blustery and 
cold, with flurries of snow the day this 
big one struck. I had tried nearly every bait and combination of baits throughout the day 
without results, when I snapped on the Pflueger -Surprise. At the fourth cast this bass struck 
with a wallop — he was fighting mad — eighteen minutes he fought a rushing battle. I believe 
it was the natural minnow swim of the Surprise that ‘coaxed the strike of this gamey bass when 
nothing else could interest him. The Pflueger- Surprise Minnow has the REAL SWIMMING 
A l« I j ^ . movement of a fish and it does not need any spinners, 
^TU I ll planes, plates or other hardware to make it do this NAT- 
* MM MM B^UMM URAL LIFELIKE minnow swim. The deep grooved 
mouth gives it the peculiar darting swim of the minnow and it LOOKS LIKE A 
MINNOW when reeled along in the water. I never go bait casting for bass, pike, ^ 
musky or pickerel without a selection of 
Pflueger-Surprise Minnows in my kit, because 
I know what they will do in any water. They 
have the SWIM that INTERESTS the game 
fish.” 
There is a finish for every kind and condition 
of water. Look them over at your dealers — every

tackle could be made better the PFLUEGERS
