ORIGINAL SERIES CCBCO
1961-1978/1979...
THE LATE YEARS.

This compilation is a continuation of earlier studies from the 1916-1960 era.
All of the lures & colors in wood & plastic will be covered from the Original Series that were still in production post 1960.
Although new colors are part of this study, the REPLACEMENT SERIES such as Giant Pikie, etc. WON'T be listed. Again, only the Original Series originally introduced in 1916 are shown here.

The wooden baits that employed tack eyes were first pictured in the 1961 catalog.
Hence, this the beginning date for these tables. Painted eye baits & plastic lures are also listed.

No special order colors are shown.

Some of the series are complex. A good example is the #700 Pikie, made in wood & plastic, plus Deep Diver lip versions (Deep Divers were not offered in 1965-1966). Creek Chub introduced colors, then quit making them, only to start production again. 

Sometimes lures would be listed in the general catalog index for a particular year but not listed individually
on their own page with a slate of colors! Footnotes will be entered to attempt to untangle the confusion.
NOTE: All the series shown here were introduced before 1961 but the dates listed here for each lure/color are between
1961-1978/'79 to fit into the parameters of this study.

CCBCo ownership was sold to a new corporation in 1978.
They continued producing lures at the Garrett, IN facility until early 1979, which explains the dual closing dates of Creek Chub.
See other tables under the Educational Section for information on earlier productions.

* Assume the bait is wooden unless so noted when plastic was the only option on certain colors of a given series.
** Whenever a color is named next to a number, you may assume it is one of the"New Era" colors
and not part of the Original Series of colors that are normally seen from the earlier days.


If you can confirm any errors or omissions in these tables, please contact me by showing copies of dated catalogs.
The compilation of this data encompassed hundreds of hours of hand entries.
It is inevitable there will be entry errors or differing interpretations of the old CCBCo catalogs.
