Vintage Matzuo Captain Hook Sinking, 2 3/4oz fishing lure #16677

Weighing a substantial 2 3/4 oz (75 g), this heavyweight specimen is a Matzuo Captain Hook Sinking model, identified by product code 16677. The 6" (15 cm) body showcases a classic high-contrast red head transitioned into a translucent silver flake midsection with a textured internal finish. This specific finish is designed to reflect light at various angles when utilized for casting or trolling in pursuit of salmon, pike, or zander. As a sinking variant, the lure operates at a variable depth, allowing for precise placement in the water column depending on the retrieve speed. The Matzuo America branding is clearly visible in gold lettering on the side, reflecting the brand's presence in the USA market. Both treble hooks and the split rings appear in excellent state, consistent with a 5/5 condition rating. The cup-shaped face, despite the sinking designation, is a structural feature of the Captain Hook series, paired here with a robust build meant for large freshwater and saltwater predators.
