A bold red head transitions into a clear body featuring striking black horizontal ribbing on this vintage Heddon Tiny Torpedo. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm), this specific model, product code 6572, showcases the classic topwater profile that Heddon pioneered in the USA. The belly is clearly stamped with the manufacturer and model name, a hallmark detail for collectors of vintage hardware. This specimen features a single rear-mounted propeller designed to create surface disturbance through tail rotation. Its 5/5 condition is evident in the bright, clean state of the original paint and the silver-toned hardware. The construction includes two treble hooks, with the belly hook secured by a vintage-style mount. Intended for topwater techniques, the design allows for both a steady buzzing retrieve and a side-to-side surface walk. The translucent body with the skeleton pattern offers a distinct visual profile, particularly when worked over submerged structure.
