Creek Chub Bait Co. Boxes

 

Introductory Boxes

Creek Chub Wiggler - c.1915 was the first of the introductory boxes. This box was also used for the Baby Wiggler.  The later introductory boxes were darker colored and had a more detailed drawing on the box.  Collector value start at $300.
Open Mouth Shiner Box - This c.1917 box is lavender in color. These lavender introductory boxes are very rare.  Collector value start at $500.

Two Piece Cardboard Boxes

Standard Box - They started using this standard box in 1921. It came in three sizes. The smallest box was used for most of their standard size lures until 1952 when the plastic top box came out.  Collector value $10 - $20.
Red Box - Fly Rod (R) - The red box was used for their fly rod lures. This red box was only used for a short time and is considered rare.  Collector value of $100.
Larger Standard Box - This larger version of the standard box was used for lures that would not fit in the standard box. This box was used into the late 1950's.  Collector value $10 - $20.
Blue Box (R) - The blue trim box is very rare. Some people argue the point and say that the green faded to blue. Supporting evidence indicates that the box was indeed printed in blue.
Deep Diving Box - When Creek Chub added the deep diving lip to the Pikie it no longer fit in the standard box. They made a slightly larger deep diving box. This box had a white border.  Collector value $10 - $20.
Oversize Box - For their larger baits this oversized box was developed. It was first used in the mid 1930's and used with their salt water baits until the late 1950's.  Collector value $20 - $30.
