Textured silver and gold scales wrap around the sides of this Kmart #270, highlighting a finish that remains remarkably well-preserved. This lightweight floating model, weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), was produced in Japan and carries the product code 21444. The design features a dark back that transitions into the reflective cross-hatched pattern on the flanks, finished off with a vibrant red accent at the mouth and striking yellow eyes. Its construction is solid plastic, fitted with a clear diving lip intended to reach depths between 2 ft and 4 ft (0.6 - 1.2 m) during casting or trolling sessions. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks that show no wear. Given its 5/5 condition rating, this specimen is unused and presents as it would have decades ago on a store shelf. The 2 1/4" (6 cm) body profile is a classic minnow shape, often utilized for light tackle applications where a steady retrieve or stop-and-go technique is preferred.
