Museum Archive: Vintage FishHouse USA ​FishHouse Crystal Minnow Deep Diver, 1oz Crystal fishing lure #13454

At a substantial 1oz (25g), the heft of this deep-diving minnow suggests it's built for reaching depths where large predators hold. The oversized clear diving lip is engineered to take the lure down to 10-16 ft (3-5 m), making it a reliable choice for trolling or casting along deep ledge structure. Rating a 4/5 on the condition scale, the specimen maintains its aesthetic integrity with only minor softening of the finish that speaks to its vintage nature. The color pattern, known as Crystal, features shimmering silver sides that contrast sharply against a solid black back. Measuring 5" (13cm) in length, the body is paired with two strong treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. Identified by product code 13454, this FishHouse USA model showcases the large, dark eyes and streamlined profile characteristic of the brand's production during this era.
