Pflueger
Neverfail fishing lure minnows,
colors, and boxes
Gabby Talkington
Neverfail underwater
minnows are the later and more common underwater minnows made by Pflueger. My main
interest is in three and five hook models which would have been found in Four Brothers
boxes, red bulldog boxes, or the early medallion (target) type box. Examples:
Neverfail underwater minnows, Four Brothers, Metalized minnows, Target , and
Medallion minnows
