Bass Ice Spear Fishing Decoy

Working ice spear fishing decoy in form of a bass. Appears to be in worn original paint and have original tin fins and incised gill plates. Body has slight curvature to enhance action when jigged. Two inset lead weights in bottom. 8" long. We thought we might be able to identify the maker or region the decoy came from by the unusual looped wire line tie, but no luck. Probably north central U.S. Circa mid 20th century. (CL-3)
